When paths 16are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all 17entries in the index are compared. The output format is the 18same as "git-diff-index" and "git-diff-tree". 19 20OPTIONS 21------- 22include::diff-options.txt[] 23 24-1 -2 -3 or --base --ours --theirs, and -0:: 25 Diff against the "base" version, "our branch" or "their 26 branch" respectively. With these options, diffs for 27 merged entries are not shown. 28+ 29The default is to diff against our branch (-2) and the 30cleanly resolved paths. The option -0 can be given to 31omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged". 32 33-c,--cc:: 34 This compares stage 2 (our branch), stage 3 (their 35 branch) and the working tree file and outputs a combined 36 diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge 37 commit with these flags. 38 39--no-index:: 40 Compare the two given files / directories. 41 42-q:: 43 Remain silent even on nonexistent files 44 45Output format 46------------- 47include::diff-format.txt[] 48 49 50Author 51------ 52Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 53 54Documentation 55-------------- 56Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 57 58GIT 59--- 60Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 61
