| The git-diffall script provides a directory based diff mechanism |
| for git. |
| |
| To determine what diff viewer is used, the script requires either |
| the 'diff.tool' or 'merge.tool' configuration option to be set. |
| |
| This script is compatible with most common forms used to specify a |
| range of revisions to diff: |
| |
| 1. git diffall: shows diff between working tree and staged changes |
| 2. git diffall --cached [<commit>]: shows diff between staged |
| changes and HEAD (or other named commit) |
| 3. git diffall <commit>: shows diff between working tree and named |
| commit |
| 4. git diffall <commit> <commit>: show diff between two named commits |
| 5. git diffall <commit>..<commit>: same as above |
| 6. git diffall <commit>...<commit>: show the changes on the branch |
| containing and up to the second, starting at a common ancestor |
| of both <commit> |
| |
| Note: all forms take an optional path limiter [-- <path>*] |
| |
| The '--extcmd=<command>' option allows the user to specify a custom |
| command for viewing diffs. When given, configured defaults are |
| ignored and the script runs $command $LOCAL $REMOTE. Additionally, |
| $BASE is set in the environment. |
| |
| This script is based on an example provided by Thomas Rast on the |
| Git list [1]: |
