💖 SQ-GIT-POLICY-DIFF 💖

okay bestie, welcome to sq-git-policy-diff, straight out of the User Commands section of the SQ-GIT(1) manual. she's a little icon and she has ONE job: showing you what changed between two policies. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

sq-git-policy-diff — Shows changes between two policies 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sq-git policy diff [OPTIONS] OLD NEW

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, this command Shows changes between two policies. simple. iconic. periodt. 🦋

now here's the part where it gets ✨flexible✨ — it depends on how many arguments you hand her:

• No arguments at all? She compares HEAD's policy with the working tree's policy file, which is openpgp-policy.toml. just raw-dogging the defaults, love that for her.
• One argument? The policy in whatever commit or file you named gets compared against the working tree's policy file.
• Otherwise (two of them)? The policies of the two commits or files get compared. head to head. main character vs main character. 🔥

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

🌸 Subcommand options 🌸

• --new-commit=NEW_COMMIT — The new policy as taken from the specified commit. like, "gimme the new policy but pull it from this commit specifically" 💖
• --new-file=NEW_FILE — The new policy as taken from the specified file. same energy, but from a file this time 🎀
• --old-commit=OLD_COMMIT — The old policy as taken from the specified commit. the before-picture, commit edition ✨
• --old-file=OLD_FILE — The old policy as taken from the specified file. the before-picture, file edition 🦋
• OLD — The old policy.

This is first interpreted as a commit. If there is no such commit, it is interpreted as a filename. (she checks the commit first, then falls back to the file — that's just the order of operations, bestie 😌)

When using this command from a script, you should prefer --old-commit or --old-file instead as they are explicit. fr fr, scripts deserve clarity.

• NEW — The new policy.

This is first interpreted as a commit. If there is no such commit, it is interpreted as a filename. same deal as OLD, no cap.

When using this command from a script, you should prefer --new-commit or --new-file instead as they are explicit. the explicit flags are the moment, trust. 💅

🌈 Global options 🌈

See sq-git(1) for a description of the global options. she's not gonna repeat herself, go read the main page bestie 👑

---

✨ EXIT STATUS ✨

The exit code is 0 if the policies are the same, and 1 if they are different.

so like — 0 means y'all are twinning 🫶, 1 means something changed 💀. easy peasy.
