STG-DIFF(1)

✨ STG-DIFF 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to stg-diff from the StGit Manual — this is the STG-DIFF(1) page and it's literally the "show me what changed" command 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

stg diff [OPTIONS] [path]...

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the whole vibe here: stg diff shows you a diff (that's the default, no thoughts needed) or a diffstat between the current working copy or a tree-ish object, and another tree-ish object (which defaults to HEAD if you don't say anything, she's lowkey minding her own business 👑).

you can also hand it file names to restrict the diff output — like, "only show me these files please and thank you" 🎀

and the tree-ish object takes the format that the stg-id(1) command accepts. iykyk ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -r <revspec>, --range=<revspec> — shows the diff between the revisions you specify 🧚 revision ranges get written as rev1[..[rev2]]. and those revisions? they can be standard Git revision specifiers or patches — either one slays 💅
• -s, --stat — shows the stat instead of the diff. sometimes you don't want the whole essay, you just want the summary, and that's valid 🌸
• -O <option>, --diff-opt=<option> — passes an extra <option> through to git diff 🔥 go peep the git-diff(1) man page for the deets. and yes bestie, you can specify this one multiple times — stack 'em up ⭐
