Being able to say "git diff A B" outside a git repository and getting a colourful version of "diff -u A B" may be nice, but such a cute hack should not give bogus results to scripts that want to give two paths, either or both of which happen to have been removed from the work tree, to "git diff-files".

NAME

|
----
|
|
git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the index
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-diff-files' [-q] [-0|-1|-2|-3|-c|--cc] [<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.
|
|
|
|
-q::
|
|
Remain silent even on nonexistent files
|
|
