OPTIONS

+include::diff-options.txt[]
+
<tree-ish>::
The id of a tree object.
-<pattern>::
+<path>...::
If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files
matching one of these prefix strings.
ie file matches `/^<pattern1>|<pattern2>|.../`
- Note that pattern does not provide any wildcard or regexp
+ Note that this parameter does not provide any wildcard or regexp
features.
--p::
- generate patch (see section on generating patches). For
- git-diff-tree, this flag implies '-r' as well.
-
--B::
- Break complete rewrite changes into pairs of delete and create.
-
--M::
- Detect renames.
-
--C::
- Detect copies as well as renames.
-
--R::
- Swap two input trees.
-
--S<string>::
- Look for differences that contains the change in <string>.
-
---pickaxe-all::
- When -S finds a change, show all the changes in that
- changeset, not just the files that contains the change
- in <string>.
-
--O<orderfile>::
- Output the patch in the order specified in the
- <orderfile>, which has one shell glob pattern per line.
-
--r::
- recurse
-
-t::
show tree entry itself as well as subtrees. Implies -r.
--z::
- \0 line termination on output
-
--root::
When '--root' is specified the initial commit will be showed as a big
creation event. This is equivalent to a diff against the NULL tree.
This flag causes "git-diff-tree --stdin" to also show
the commit message before the differences.
+--pretty[=(raw|medium|short)]::
+ This is used to control "pretty printing" format of the
+ commit message. Without "=<style>", it defaults to
+ medium.
