Interface DiffOptions

Shows the shortest prefix that is at least hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object.

Generates a diff using the "anchored diff" algorithm.

Outputs a binary diff.

Breaks complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.

Warns if changes introduce conflict markers or whitespace errors.

Lists the file name from all parents.

Outputs a condensed summary of extended header information.

Synonym for --dirstat=cumulative.

Selects a diff algorithm.

Selects files by status.

Specifies the diff format for merge commits.

Generates a diffstat.

Generates a diffstat.

Shows the given destination prefix instead of "a/".

Allows an external diff helper to be executed.

Detects and reports renames for each commit.

Inspects unmodified files as candidates for the source of copy.

Looks for differences that change the number of occurrences of the specified object.

Detects and reports renames for each commit.

Shows the full pre- and post-image blob object names on the "index" line.

Shows whole function as context lines for each change.

Generates a diff using the "histogram diff" algorithm.

Ignores whitespace when comparing lines.

Ignores changes whose lines are all blank.

Ignores carriage-return at the end of line.

Ignores changes whose all lines match regex.

Ignores whitespace at the end of line.

Ignores changes in the amount of whitespace.

Ignores changes to submodules in the diff generation.

Enables the heuristic that shifts diff hunk boundaries to make patches easier to read.

Shows the context between diff hunks, up to the specified number of lines.

Omits the preimage for deletes.

Prepends an additional prefix to every line of output.

Spends extra time to make sure the smallest possible diff is produced.

Shows only the names of changed files.

Shows only the names and status of changed files.

Disable output of diffs for merge commits.

Disallows external diff drivers.

Disables the heuristic that shifts diff hunk boundaries to make patches easier to read.

Suppresses diff output.

Does not show any source or destination prefix.

Countermands diff.relative.

Does not use empty blobs as rename source.

Disables rename detection.

Disallows external text conversion filters to be run when comparing binary files.

Similar to --stat, but shows number of added and deleted lines in decimal notation and pathname without abbreviation, to make it more machine friendly.

Outputs to a specific file instead of stdout.

Specifies the character used to indicate context lines in the generated patch.

Specifies the character used to indicate new lines in the generated patch.

Specifies the character used to indicate old lines in the generated patch.

Generates a patch.

Synonym for --patch --raw.

Synonym for --patch --stat.

Generates a diff using the "patience diff" algorithm.

Shows all the changes in that changeset.

Treats the string given to -S as an extended POSIX regular expression to match.

Generates the diff in raw format.

Makes the output relative.

Uses empty blobs as rename source.

Outputs only the last line of --stat.

Shows the given source prefix instead of "a/".

Generates a diffstat.

Specifies how differences in submodules are shown.

Outputs a condensed summary of extended header information.

Treats all files as text.

Allows external text conversion filters to be run when comparing binary files.

Generates diffs with the specified number of context lines.

Shows a word diff.

Specifies the regex to define a word.

Looks for differences whose patch text contains added/removed lines that match .

Controls the order in which files appear in the output.

Swaps two inputs.

Looks for differences that change the number of occurrences of the specified string.

Prevents the exhaustive portion of rename/copy detection from running if the number of source/destination files involved exceeds the specified number.

Does not munge pathnames and uses NULs as output field terminators.
