Git Log Diff. Print patch or diff information. Diffing is a function that takes two input data sets and outputs the changes between.
To understand the differences between the current state of the file in the repository compared to their last known state we use the git diff command. Here we focus on log diff and show commands and i am hoping you already have. P option can be used to print path or diff of the files for the commits.
Note that unless one of c cc or m is given merge commits will never show a diff even if a diff format like patch is selected nor will they match search options like s.
By default git log does not generate any diff output. However normally if you just want to abort a command that is currently executing you can try ctrl c doesn t seem to work for git log however or ctrl z although in bash ctrl zwill freeze the currently running foreground process which can then be thawed as a background process with the bgcommand. Diff command takes two inputs and reflects the differences between them. I can t figure out what to do next when i encounter this end word i can t type any commands and i end up closing the current bash and open another.
