View changes in a commit or in the current working directory.

  • git_diff() returns a data frame with information about a commit patch.

  • git_diff_patch() is shortcode for git_diff()$patch.

Usage

git_diff(ref = NULL, repo = ".")

git_diff_patch(ref = NULL, repo = ".")

Arguments

ref

a reference such as "HEAD", or a commit id, or NULL to the diff the working directory against the repository index.

repo

The path to the git repository. If the directory is not a repository, parent directories are considered (see git_find()). To disable this search, provide the filepath protected with I(). When using this parameter, always explicitly call by name (i.e. repo = ) because future versions of gert may have additional parameters.

Value

  • git_diff() returns a data frame.

  • git_diff_patch() returns a character vector.
