cg-diff(1) Manual Page
NAME
cg - diff - make a diff between two git trees
SYNOPSIS
cg-diff [-c] [-m] [-p] [-r FROM_ID[:TO_ID]] [FILE]…
DESCRIPTION
Outputs a diff for converting the first tree to the second one. By default compares the current working tree to the state at the last commit. The output will automatically be displayed in a pager unless it is piped to a program.
OPTIONS
- -c
- Colorize the diff output
- -p
- Instead of one ID denotes a parent commit to the specified ID (which must not be a tree, obviously).
- -r FROM_ID[:TO_ID]
- Specify the revisions to diff using either -r rev1:rev2 or -r rev1 -r rev2. If no revision is specified, the current working tree is implied. Note that no revision is different from empty revision which means -r rev: compares between rev and HEAD, while -r rev compares between rev and working tree.
- -m
- Base the diff at the merge base of the -r arguments (defaulting to master and origin).
- -h, —help
- Print usage help.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
- PAGER
- The pager to display log information in, defaults to less.
- PAGER_FLAGS
- Flags to pass to the pager. By default R is added to the LESS environment variable to allow displaying of colorized output.
