diff

I want to check the real diff between remote branch and local branch. How can I do that? Issuing the below command partially works, but it shows the diff of the new changes of my local branch too. git diff remote/branch Evgen Bodunov From the documentation : git diff [--options] <commit>...<commit> [--] [<path>…] This form is to view the changes on the branch containing and up to the second <commit> , starting at a common ancestor of both <commit> . "git diff A...B" is equivalent to "git diff $(git-merge-base A B) B". You can omit any one of <commit> , which has the same effect as using HEAD

I know there are several threads on this already, but no one has fully explained exactly how to perform the initial diff to create the patch file, then how to apply that patch to the initial directory to update it. In my case, there is a directory of files that anyone can download from the web. I have taken that directory and made changes to it, and want to create a patch file such that others can apply it to the downloaded directory to reproduce exactly what I have in my modified directory. Help? What do I need to tell the other person with respect to how to apply my patch? David H I just had

There are two files called "a.txt" and "b.txt" both have a list of words. Now I want to check which words are extra in "a.txt" and are not in "b.txt" . I need a efficient algorithm as I need to compare two dictionaries. if you have vim installed,try this: vimdiff file1 file2 or vim -d file1 file2 you will find it fantastic. Sort them and use comm : comm -23 <(sort a.txt) <(sort b.txt) comm compares (sorted) input files and by default outputs three columns: lines that are unique to a, lines that are unique to b, and lines that are present in both. By specifying -1 , -2 and/or -3 you can

I've have two files opened. They are opened in vertical mode, next to next. Can I instantly diff these two files without leaving or closing Vim ? To begin diffing on all visible windows: :windo diffthis which executes :diffthis on each window. To end diff mode: :diffoff! (The ! makes diffoff apply to all windows of the current tab - it'd be nice if diffthis had the same feature, but it doesn't.) in each of the windows you want to diff type: :diffthis If you want to diff all of the open windows, you can do: :windo diffthis ( windo will apply the command to all open windows) Following up on the

How can I download the changes contained in a Github pull request as a unified diff? Simone Carletti To view a commit as a diff/patch file, just add .diff or .patch to the end of the URL, for example: https://github.com/weppos/whois/pull/90 https://github.com/weppos/whois/pull/90.diff https://github.com/weppos/whois/pull/90.patch Somewhat related, to let git download pull request 123 and patch it into mylocalbranch locally, run: git checkout -b mylocalbranch git pull origin pull/921/head To get the PR changes into your local repo in an staged but uncommitted state, so you can review: git pull

I'm trying to find the files existing in one directory but not in the other, I tried to use this command: diff -q dir1 dir2 The problem with the above command that it finds both the files in dir1 but not in dir2 as well as the files in dir2 but not in dir1 , I am trying to find the files in dir1 but not in dir2 only. Here's a small sample of what my data looks like dir1 dir2 dir3 1.txt 1.txt 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt 3.txt 5.txt 4.txt 5.txt 6.txt 7.txt 8.txt Another question on my mind is how can I find the files in dir1 but not in dir2 or dir3 in a single command? asclepix diff -r dir1 dir2 | grep

When I have a diff, how can I colorize it so that it looks good? I want it for the command line, so please no GUI solutions. kaji Man pages for diff suggest no solution for colorization from within itself. Please consider using colordiff . It's a wrapper around diff that produces the same output as diff, except that it augments the output using colored syntax highlighting to increase readability: diff old new | colordiff or just: colordiff old new Installation: Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install colordiff OS X: brew install colordiff or port install colordiff Use Vim : diff /path/to/a /path

This is a follow up question to Retrieve audited entities name, old value and new value of the given revision I have figured out how to get the two revision of an entity but don't see any easy to find the difference between the two. Is there anything in envers that will help doing a diff of an entity at different revisions? Or any good libraries? I would be really cool if I could get the property modified (_mod) field fields. So what I came up with to make life easier was to create an annotation to mark the fields I was interested in comparing. Without I ended up having to get with sticking to
