✨ NAME ✨

Git::Raw::Diff::Delta — bestie, it's the Git diff delta class 💅

(yeah this is a Git::R...::Delta(3pm) situation, a user-contributed Perl doc, and we're getting into it)

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.90 — that's the one, no cap 🌸

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

A Git::Raw::Diff::Delta represents a delta in the diff between two entities. Like, one little "what changed here" between the before and the after. That's the whole vibe. 🫶

⚠️ WARNING: The API of this module is unstable and may change without warning (any change will be appropriately documented in the changelog). So like… love it, but don't marry it, okay? 😭

💖 METHODS 💖

🌈 status( )

Retrieve the status of the delta. Returns one of the following:

  • "unmodified" — No changes. literally nothing happened, we love a peaceful queen ✨
  • "added" — The entry does not exist in the old version. brand new, fresh out the box 🎀
  • "deleted" — The entry does not exist in the new version. gone, and honestly not coming back 💀
  • "modified" — The entry content changed between the old and new versions. the classic glow-up 🌸
  • "renamed" — The entry was renamed between the old and new versions. new name, same energy 👑
  • "copied" — The entry was copied from another old entry. it's giving twin behavior 🦋
  • "ignored" — The entry is an ignored item in the working directory. we don't see her, she's not here 🙈
  • "untracked" — The entry is an untracked item in the working directory. main character who hasn't been added to the group chat yet 😭
  • "type_change" — The type of the entry changed between the old and new versions. identity crisis but make it git 🔥
  • "unreadable" — The entry is unreadable. can't read her, won't read her 💅
  • "conflicted" — The entry represents a conflict. drama. actual drama. ⭐

💜 flags( )

Retrieve the flags associated with the delta. Returns an array reference with zero or more of the following:

  • "binary" — Files treated as binary data.
  • "valid_id" — "id" value is known correct. ✅

🧚 similarity( )

Retrieve the similarity score between 0 and 100 between "old_file" and "new_file". So like, how much is she still herself after the change? 👑

🍓 file_count( )

Retrieve the number of files in the delta. count 'em, bestie 🔢

⭐ old_file( )

The "old_file" represents the "from" side of the diff. Returns a Git::Raw::Diff::File object. the before 💖

🌈 new_file( )

The "new_file" represents to "to" side of the diff. Returns a Git::Raw::Diff::File object. the after 💫

okay that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it up 🎀 and just so you know exactly what you're reading — this was perl v5.42.3, dated 2026-08-19, and it was the Git::R...::Delta(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation. periodt. 💖✨
