git-diff-files(1) ================= NAME ---- git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the index SYNOPSIS -------- 'git-diff-files' [-q] [-0|-1|-2|-3|-c|--cc|--no-index] [<common diff options>] [<path>...] DESCRIPTION ----------- Compares the files in the working tree and the index. When paths are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all entries in the index are compared. The output format is the same as "git-diff-index" and "git-diff-tree". OPTIONS ------- include::diff-options.txt[] -1 -2 -3 or --base --ours --theirs, and -0:: Diff against the "base" version, "our branch" or "their branch" respectively. With these options, diffs for merged entries are not shown. + The default is to diff against our branch (-2) and the cleanly resolved paths. The option -0 can be given to omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged". -c,--cc:: This compares stage 2 (our branch), stage 3 (their branch) and the working tree file and outputs a combined diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge commit with these flags. --no-index:: Compare the two given files / directories. -q:: Remain silent even on nonexistent files Output format ------------- include::diff-format.txt[] Author ------ Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Documentation -------------- Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>.
