-p::

Generate patch (see section on generating patches).
{git-diff? This is the default.}
endif::git-format-patch[]
--u::
- Synonym for "-p".
-
-U<n>::
- Shorthand for "--unified=<n>".
-
--unified=<n>::
Generate diffs with <n> lines of context instead of
the usual three. Implies "-p".
lines.
--dirstat[=limit]::
- Output only the sub-directories that are impacted by a diff,
- and to what degree they are impacted. You can override the
- default cut-off in percent (3) by "--dirstat=limit". If you
- want to enable "cumulative" directory statistics, you can use
- the "--cumulative" flag, which adds up percentages recursively
- even when they have been already reported for a sub-directory.
+ Output the distribution of relative amount of changes (number of lines added or
+ removed) for each sub-directory. Directories with changes below
+ a cut-off percent (3% by default) are not shown. The cut-off percent
+ can be set with "--dirstat=limit". Changes in a child directory is not
+ counted for the parent directory, unless "--cumulative" is used.
+
+--dirstat-by-file[=limit]::
+ Same as --dirstat, but counts changed files instead of lines.
--summary::
Output a condensed summary of extended header information
--diff-filter=[ACDMRTUXB*]::
Select only files that are Added (`A`), Copied (`C`),
Deleted (`D`), Modified (`M`), Renamed (`R`), have their
- type (mode) changed (`T`), are Unmerged (`U`), are
+ type (i.e. regular file, symlink, submodule, ...) changed (`T`),
+ are Unmerged (`U`), are
Unknown (`X`), or have had their pairing Broken (`B`).
Any combination of the filter characters may be used.
When `*` (All-or-none) is added to the combination, all
can name which subdirectory to make the output relative
to by giving a <path> as an argument.
+-a::
--text::
Treat all files as text.
--a::
- Shorthand for "--text".
-
--ignore-space-at-eol::
Ignore changes in whitespace at EOL.
+-b::
--ignore-space-change::
Ignore changes in amount of whitespace. This ignores whitespace
at line end, and considers all other sequences of one or
more whitespace characters to be equivalent.
--b::
- Shorthand for "--ignore-space-change".
-
+-w::
--ignore-all-space::
Ignore whitespace when comparing lines. This ignores
differences even if one line has whitespace where the other
line has none.
--w::
- Shorthand for "--ignore-all-space".
-
--exit-code::
Make the program exit with codes similar to diff(1).
That is, it exits with 1 if there were differences and
