// Please don't remove this comment as asciidoc behaves badly when // the first non-empty line is ifdef/ifndef. The symptom is that // without this comment the attribute conditionally // defined below ends up being defined unconditionally. // Last checked with asciidoc 7.0.2. ifndef::git-format-patch[] ifndef::git-diff[] ifndef::git-log[] :git-diff-core: 1 endif::git-log[] endif::git-diff[] endif::git-format-patch[] ifdef::git-format-patch[] -p:: --no-stat:: Generate plain patches without any diffstats. endif::git-format-patch[] ifndef::git-format-patch[] -p:: -u:: Generate patch (see section on generating patches). {git-diff? This is the default.} endif::git-format-patch[] -U:: --unified=:: Generate diffs with lines of context instead of the usual three. ifndef::git-format-patch[] Implies `-p`. endif::git-format-patch[] ifndef::git-format-patch[] --raw:: Generate the raw format. {git-diff-core? This is the default.} endif::git-format-patch[] ifndef::git-format-patch[] --patch-with-raw:: Synonym for `-p --raw`. endif::git-format-patch[] --patience:: Generate a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm. --stat[=width[,name-width]]:: Generate a diffstat. You can override the default output width for 80-column terminal by `--stat=width`. The width of the filename part can be controlled by giving another width to it separated by a comma. --numstat:: Similar to `\--stat`, but shows number of added and deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly. For binary files, outputs two `-` instead of saying `0 0`. --shortstat:: Output only the last line of the `--stat` format containing total number of modified files, as well as number of added and deleted lines. --dirstat[=limit]:: Output the distribution of relative amount of changes (number of lines added or removed) for each sub-directory. Directories with changes below a cut-off percent (3% by default) are not shown. The cut-off percent can be set with `--dirstat=limit`. Changes in a child directory is not counted for the parent directory, unless `--cumulative` is used. --dirstat-by-file[=limit]:: Same as `--dirstat`, but counts changed files instead of lines. --summary:: Output a condensed summary of extended header information such as creations, renames and mode changes. ifndef::git-format-patch[] --patch-with-stat:: Synonym for `-p --stat`. endif::git-format-patch[] ifndef::git-format-patch[] -z:: ifdef::git-log[] Separate the commits with NULs instead of with new newlines. + Also, when `--raw` or `--numstat` has been given, do not munge pathnames and use NULs as output field terminators. endif::git-log[] ifndef::git-log[] When `--raw` or `--numstat` has been given, do not munge pathnames and use NULs as output field terminators. endif::git-log[] + Without this option, each pathname output will have TAB, LF, double quotes, and backslash characters replaced with `\t`, `\n`, `\"`, and `\\`, respectively, and the pathname will be enclosed in double quotes if any of those replacements occurred. --name-only:: Show only names of changed files. --name-status:: Show only names and status of changed files. See the description of the `--diff-filter` option on what the status letters mean. --submodule[=]:: Chose the output format for submodule differences. can be one of 'short' and 'log'. 'short' just shows pairs of commit names, this format is used when this option is not given. 'log' is the default value for this option and lists the commits in that commit range like the 'summary' option of linkgit:git-submodule[1] does. --color:: Show colored diff. --no-color:: Turn off colored diff, even when the configuration file gives the default to color output. --color-words[=]:: Show colored word diff, i.e., color words which have changed. By default, words are separated by whitespace. + When a is specified, every non-overlapping match of the is considered a word. Anything between these matches is considered whitespace and ignored(!) for the purposes of finding differences. You may want to append `|[^[:space:]]` to your regular expression to make sure that it matches all non-whitespace characters. A match that contains a newline is silently truncated(!) at the newline. + The regex can also be set via a diff driver or configuration option, see linkgit:gitattributes[1] or linkgit:git-config[1]. Giving it explicitly overrides any diff driver or configuration setting. Diff drivers override configuration settings. endif::git-format-patch[] --no-renames:: Turn off rename detection, even when the configuration file gives the default to do so. ifndef::git-format-patch[] --check:: Warn if changes introduce trailing whitespace or an indent that uses a space before a tab. Exits with non-zero status if problems are found. Not compatible with --exit-code. endif::git-format-patch[] --full-index:: Instead of the first handful of characters, show the full pre- and post-image blob object names on the "index" line when generating patch format output. --binary:: In addition to `--full-index`, output a binary diff that can be applied with `git-apply`. --abbrev[=]:: Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object name in diff-raw format output and diff-tree header lines, show only a partial prefix. This is independent of the `--full-index` option above, which controls the diff-patch output format. Non default number of digits can be specified with `--abbrev=`. -B:: Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. -M:: Detect renames. -C:: Detect copies as well as renames. See also `--find-copies-harder`. ifndef::git-format-patch[] --diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]:: Select only files that are Added (`A`), Copied (`C`), Deleted (`D`), Modified (`M`), Renamed (`R`), have their type (i.e. regular file, symlink, submodule, ...) changed (`T`), are Unmerged (`U`), are Unknown (`X`), or have had their pairing Broken (`B`). Any combination of the filter characters may be used. When `*` (All-or-none) is added to the combination, all paths are selected if there is any file that matches other criteria in the comparison; if there is no file that matches other criteria, nothing is selected. endif::git-format-patch[] --find-copies-harder:: For performance reasons, by default, `-C` option finds copies only if the original file of the copy was modified in the same changeset. This flag makes the command inspect unmodified files as candidates for the source of copy. This is a very expensive operation for large projects, so use it with caution. Giving more than one `-C` option has the same effect. -l:: The `-M` and `-C` options require O(n^2) processing time where n is the number of potential rename/copy targets. This option prevents rename/copy detection from running if the number of rename/copy targets exceeds the specified number. ifndef::git-format-patch[] -S:: Look for differences that introduce or remove an instance of . Note that this is different than the string simply appearing in diff output; see the 'pickaxe' entry in linkgit:gitdiffcore[7] for more details. --pickaxe-all:: When `-S` finds a change, show all the changes in that changeset, not just the files that contain the change in . --pickaxe-regex:: Make the not a plain string but an extended POSIX regex to match. endif::git-format-patch[] -O:: Output the patch in the order specified in the , which has one shell glob pattern per line. ifndef::git-format-patch[] -R:: Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from index or on-disk file to tree contents. --relative[=]:: When run from a subdirectory of the project, it can be told to exclude changes outside the directory and show pathnames relative to it with this option. When you are not in a subdirectory (e.g. in a bare repository), you can name which subdirectory to make the output relative to by giving a as an argument. endif::git-format-patch[] -a:: --text:: Treat all files as text. --ignore-space-at-eol:: Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL. -b:: --ignore-space-change:: Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace at line end, and considers all other sequences of one or more whitespace characters to be equivalent. -w:: --ignore-all-space:: Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores differences even if one line has whitespace where the other line has none. --inter-hunk-context=:: Show the context between diff hunks, up to the specified number of lines, thereby fusing hunks that are close to each other. ifndef::git-format-patch[] --exit-code:: Make the program exit with codes similar to diff(1). That is, it exits with 1 if there were differences and 0 means no differences. --quiet:: Disable all output of the program. Implies `--exit-code`. endif::git-format-patch[] --ext-diff:: Allow an external diff helper to be executed. If you set an external diff driver with linkgit:gitattributes[5], you need to use this option with linkgit:git-log[1] and friends. --no-ext-diff:: Disallow external diff drivers. --ignore-submodules:: Ignore changes to submodules in the diff generation. --src-prefix=:: Show the given source prefix instead of "a/". --dst-prefix=:: Show the given destination prefix instead of "b/". --no-prefix:: Do not show any source or destination prefix.
