| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the cache |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-diff-files' [-p] [-q] [-r] [-z] [-M] [<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 |
| |
| -M:: |
| Detect renames; implies -p. |
| |
| -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 |
| ------------- |
| include::diff-format.txt[] |
