Git Diff: Compare Branches
TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc
I am on branch foo
. In git, I want to look at the diff of the file ./bazz/buzz.js
with my local changes against the local branch d-287-add-starts-with-etc-operators
. What is teh command?To compare the differences of the file ./bazz/buzz.js
with your local changes against another local branch named d-287-add-starts-with-etc-operators
while you are on branch foo
, you can use the following Git command:
git diff d-287-add-starts-with-etc-operators..foo -- ./bazz/buzz.js
This command will show you the differences between the two branches for the specified file. Here's a breakdown of the command:
git diff
: This is the Git command used to display differences between Git data sources.d-287-add-starts-with-etc-operators..foo
: Specifies the range to compare, fromd-287-add-starts-with-etc-operators
to your current branchfoo
.--
: This is used to separate the branches you're comparing from the paths you want to compare../bazz/buzz.js
: Specifies the path to the file you want to compare across the two branches.
Make sure to replace foo
with the exact name of the branch you're currently on if it differs from foo
.
