Generate a diffstat. By default, as much space as necessary

part. Maximum width defaults to terminal width, or 80 columns
|
|
if not connected to a terminal, and can be overridden by
|
|
<code><width></code>. The width of the filename part can be limited by
|
|
giving another width <code><name-width></code> after a comma. The width
|
|
of the graph part can be limited by using
|
|
<code>--stat-graph-width=<width></code> (affects all commands generating
|
|
a stat graph) or by setting <code>diff.statGraphWidth=<width></code>
|
|
(does not affect <code>git format-patch</code>).

Output the distribution of relative amount of changes for each

Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been

removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores

the amount of pure code movements within a file. In other words,

rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.

Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff

analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary

files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
|
|
natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive <code>--dirstat</code>
|
|
behavior than the <code>changes</code> behavior, but it does count rearranged
|
|
lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output

is consistent with what you get from the other <code>--*stat</code> options.

Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is

not have to look at the file contents at all.

single deletion of everything old followed by a single insertion of

If <code>n</code> is specified, it is a threshold on the similarity

delete/add pair to be a rename if more than 90% of the file
|
|
hasn’t changed. Without a <code>%</code> sign, the number is to be read as
|
|
a fraction, with a decimal point before it. I.e., <code>-M5</code> becomes
|
|
0.5, and is thus the same as <code>-M50%</code>. Similarly, <code>-M05</code> is
|
|
the same as <code>-M5%</code>. To limit detection to exact renames, use

<code>-M100%</code>. The default similarity index is 50%.

The <code>-M</code> and <code>-C</code> options involve some preliminary steps that

can detect subsets of renames/copies cheaply, followed by an
|
|
exhaustive fallback portion that compares all remaining
|
|
unpaired destinations to all relevant sources. (For renames,
|
|
only remaining unpaired sources are relevant; for copies, all
|
|
original sources are relevant.) For N sources and
|
|
destinations, this exhaustive check is O(N^2). This option
|

prevents the exhaustive portion of rename/copy detection from
|
|
running if the number of source/destination files involved

Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates

Commit objects record the character encoding used for the log message

command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding

preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this

defaults to UTF-8. Note that if an object claims to be encoded
|
|
in <code>X</code> and we are outputting in <code>X</code>, we will output the object
|
|
verbatim; this means that invalid sequences in the original
|
|
commit may be copied to the output. Likewise, if iconv(3) fails
|
|
to convert the commit, we will quietly output the original
|

object verbatim.

This flag changes the way a merge commit is displayed

(which means it is useful only when the command is given

one <tree-ish>, or <code>--stdin</code>). It shows the differences
|
|
from each of the parents to the merge result simultaneously

|
instead of showing pairwise diff between a parent and the

result one at a time (which is what the <code>-m</code> option does).

from all parents.

This flag changes the way a merge commit patch is displayed,
|
|
in a similar way to the <code>-c</code> option. It implies the <code>-c</code>
|
|
and <code>-p</code> options and further compresses the patch output
|
|
by omitting uninteresting hunks whose the contents in the parents
|
|
have only two variants and the merge result picks one of them
|
|
without modification. When all hunks are uninteresting, the commit
|
|
itself and the commit log message is not shown, just like in any other

"empty diff" case.

This flag causes combined diffs (used for merge commits) to

effect when -c or --cc are specified, and is likely only

useful if filename changes are detected (i.e. when either

rename or copy detection have been requested).

the <code>auto</code> settings of the former if we are going to a

other words, each commit has the message terminator character (usually a

newline) appended, rather than a separator placed between entries.

This means that the final entry of a single-line format will be properly

terminated with a new line, just as the "oneline" format does.

Chunk header format is modified to prevent people from
|
|
accidentally feeding it to <code>patch -p1</code>. Combined diff format
|
|
was created for review of merge commit changes, and was not
|
|
meant to be applied. The change is similar to the change in the
|
|
extended <em>index</em> header:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="literalblock">
|
|
<div class="content">
|
|
<pre><code>@@@ <from-file-range> <from-file-range> <to-file-range> @@@</code></pre>

</div></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>There are (number of parents + 1) <code>@</code> characters in the chunk
|
|
header for combined diff format.</p></div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ol></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>Unlike the traditional <em>unified</em> diff format, which shows two
|
|
files A and B with a single column that has <code>-</code> (minus — appears in A but removed in B), <code>+</code> (plus — missing in A but
|
|
added to B), or <code>" "</code> (space — unchanged) prefix, this format
|
|
compares two or more files file1, file2,… with one file X, and
|
|
shows how X differs from each of fileN. One column for each of
|
|
fileN is prepended to the output line to note how X’s line is
|
|
different from it.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>A <code>-</code> character in the column N means that the line appears in
|
|
fileN but it does not appear in the result. A <code>+</code> character
|
|
in the column N means that the line appears in the result,
|
|
and fileN does not have that line (in other words, the line was
|
|
added, from the point of view of that parent).</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>In the above example output, the function signature was changed
|
|
from both files (hence two <code>-</code> removals from both file1 and
|
|
file2, plus <code>++</code> to mean one line that was added does not appear
|
|
in either file1 or file2). Also eight other lines are the same
|
|
from file1 but do not appear in file2 (hence prefixed with <code>+</code>).</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>When shown by <code>git diff-tree -c</code>, it compares the parents of a
|
|
merge commit with the merge result (i.e. file1..fileN are the
|
|
parents). When shown by <code>git diff-files -c</code>, it compares the
|
|
two unresolved merge parents with the working tree file
|
|
(i.e. file1 is stage 2 aka "our version", file2 is stage 3 aka
|
|
"their version").</p></div>

<div class="sectionbody">

<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>--summary</code> option describes newly added, deleted, renamed and

|
|
<code>-p</code>, and are meant for human consumption.</p></div>
|
|
<div class="paragraph"><p>When showing a change that involves a rename or a copy, <code>--stat</code> output
|

formats the pathnames compactly by combining common prefix and suffix of

the pathnames. For example, a change that moves <code>arch/i386/Makefile</code> to

<code>arch/x86/Makefile</code> while modifying 4 lines will be shown like this:</p></div>
