💅 STG-SHOW(1) — the StGit Manual, bestie edition 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in your StGit era and you just wanna see stuff. That's stg-show — the manual page, the lore, the whole thing. It lives in the StGit Manual and it's genuinely giving main character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

stg-show — show patch commits. that's it, that's the vibe 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

stg show [OPTIONS] [patch-or-rev]... [-- <path>...]
stg show [OPTIONS] [--patch <patch-or-rev>]... [-- <path>...]
stg show [OPTIONS] [-A] [-U] [-H] [-- <path>...]

three whole ways to call her, pick your fighter 🫶

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So what does she do? She shows you the commit log and the diff for whatever patches you hand her. iconic behavior, honestly.

by default you get the topmost patch — or HEAD if there are no patches applied at all (ngl, sometimes that's just where you're at). The output is similar to git-show(1), so if you already know that one you're lowkey gonna feel right at home 😌

✨ OPTIONS ✨

like, all of them. every single one. no skipping, periodt 💅

  • -p &lt;patch-or-rev&gt;, --patch=&lt;patch-or-rev&gt; — the patch or revision you actually wanna see 👀
  • -b &lt;branch&gt;, --branch=&lt;branch&gt; — use &lt;branch&gt; instead of whatever the current branch is. branch-hopping, but make it intentional 🦋
  • -s, --stat — give me a diffstat summary instead of the full diff. the TL;DR version, for when the full diff is too much 💀
  • -O &lt;option&gt;, --diff-opt=&lt;option&gt; — pass an extra &lt;option&gt; straight through to git diff. and the best part? you can specify this multiple times 🔥 stack as many as your heart desires.
peep the git-diff(1) man page for what those options actually are 📖
  • -A, --applied — show the applied patches ✅
  • -U, --unapplied — show the unapplied patches 🙈
  • -H, --hidden — show the hidden patches 🫣 (the secret ones, iykyk)
