| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [-B] [-M] [-C] [-R] [-O<orderfile>] [-S<string>] [--pickaxe-all] [<pattern>...] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Compares the files in the working tree and the cache. When paths |
| are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all |
| entries in the cache are compared. The output format is the |
| same as "git-diff-cache" and "git-diff-tree". |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| -p:: |
| generate patch (see section on generating patches). |
| |
| -q:: |
| Remain silent even on nonexisting files |
| |
| -R:: |
| Swap two inputs; that is, show differences from on-disk files |
| to cache contents. |
| |
| -B:: |
| Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create. |
| |
| -M:: |
| Detect renames. |
| |
| -C:: |
| Detect copies as well as renames. |
| |
| -S<string>:: |
| Look for differences that contains the change in <string>. |
| |
| --pickaxe-all:: |
| When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that |
| changeset, not just the files that contains the change |
| in <string>. |
| |
| -O<orderfile>:: |
| Output the patch in the order specified in the |
| <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line. |
| |
| -r:: |
| This flag does not mean anything. It is there only to match |
| git-diff-tree. Unlike git-diff-tree, git-diff-files always looks |
| at all the subdirectories. |
| |
| |
| Output format |
