💅 dunk(1) — the git manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is dunk, from the git manual, section 1 🌸 and honestly? she's iconic. stay with me.

---

✨ NAME ✨

dunk — an alternative diff view for Git that is pretty and colorful 🎀🌈

like. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dunk

no flags, no args, nothing. just vibes. 🦋

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so here's the tea: dunk is meant to be used as a filter — she doesn't go hunting for diffs herself, she just receives the output from git diff as her STDIN 🫶

so like this:

git diff | dunk

and then dunk will present a two-column, syntax-highlighted view of the differences with the Git index in the current directory ✨

two columns? syntax highlighting? in this economy?? we love to see it 😭💖

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

lowkey the best part: dunk does not have any options. 👑

zero. none. no cap. she just works. 💅✨

---

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

given that dunk works as a filter, you can specify options to git diff and dunk will work with whatever output it produces 🌸✨

dunk will work with commit ranges, or with specific files or directories in your Git repository, like this:

git diff HEAD~.. | dunk

this will present the differences between the immediately past revision and the current one 🕰️

you can also specify specific files within the repository to report:

git diff README | dunk

this will only report the differences in the README file 👑

for further examples, refer to the syntax of git-diff(1) — dunk will work on its produced output, fr fr 🫶
