.SH "NAME"
|
|
git-upstream-diff \- Print a diff of the current branch, compared to its upstream\&.
|
|
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
|
|
.sp
|
|
.nf
|
|
\fIgit upstream\-diff\fR [\-\-wordwise] [branch] [<extra args for git\-diff>*]
|

.sp
|
|
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
|
|
.sp
|
|
Shows a diff between a branch and its upstream\&. If the branch is omitted, the tool shows the diff for the current branch\&. This is \fIroughly\fR the same as:
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
git diff \-\-patience \-C \-C branch@{upstream} \fB(1)\fR \fB(2)\fR
|
|
.fi
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RE
|
|
.\}
|
|
.sp
|
|
.sp
|
|
\fB1. \fR\-C \-C
|
|
detects file copies/renames
|
|
.br
|
|
\fB2. \fR\-\-patience
|
|
uses the patience\-diff algorithm, which tends to produce nicer diffs in many cases\&.
|
|
.br
|
|
.sp
|
|
The difference is that branch@{upstream} is actually the tagged merge base of your branch (See \fBgit-rebase-update\fR(1))\&. This means that if your upstream branch was rebased, but you haven\(cqt yet rebased the current branch on top of it, you\(cqll still see an accurate diff compared to just diffing against @{upstream}\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
The \-\-wordwise option also allows git\-diff to do word\-by\-word comparison in a semi\-intelligent way\&. However, sometimes it can produce surprising results, so it is disabled by default\&.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
\-\-wordwise
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Print a colorized word\-wise diff instead of a line\-wise diff\&.
|
|
.sp
|
|
.if n \{\
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
.\}
|
|
.nf
|
|
Show a diff between the specified branch and its upstream, instead of using
|
|
the current branch\&.

<extra args for git\-diff>
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Extra arguments are included in the invocation of
|
|
\fBgit-diff\fR(1)\&. These can be anything that
|
|
git\-diff
|
|
normally takes\&.
|
|
.PP
|
|
\-\-stat
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
This is particularly useful to show
|
|
\fIwhich\fR
|
|
files have been changed in comparison to the upstream branch\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\-\-staged
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Diff against the staged (cached) changes, instead of against the working directory\&. This is
|
|
\fIsubstantially\fR
|
|
faster on large repos, but doesn\(cqt take into account unstaged changes (i\&.e\&. changes in your working copy which you haven\(cqt staged with
|
|
git add)\&.
|
|
.RE
|
|
.PP
|
|
\-\- <filename patterns>*
|
|
.RS 4
|
|
Restrict the diff to only show the diff for given files compared to the upstream\&.

Some common short\-hand aliases\&. Feel free to add these to your \fI~/\&.gitconfig\fR file\&.
