delta: Compare files or directories, ignoring any Git configuration settings.
$ delta --no-gitconfig ${path-to-old_file_or_directory} ${path-to-new_file_or_directory}
try on your machine
The command you provided is:
delta --no-gitconfig ${path-to-old_file_or_directory} ${path-to-new_file_or_directory}
This command seems to be using a program or tool named "delta" to compare two files or directories without considering the Git configuration.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
delta
: This is the name of the program or tool that is being executed. It's likely a separate command-line utility.--no-gitconfig
: This flag indicates that the Git configuration should not be taken into account during the comparison. Git is a version control system, and usually, when comparing files, it considers the Git configuration, such as ignoring whitespace or line-endings. However, with this flag, the comparison will not have any Git-specific behavior.${path-to-old_file_or_directory}
: This placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the old file or directory you want to compare. The path could be relative (./file.txt
) or absolute (/home/user/file.txt
), depending on the system you are using.${path-to-new_file_or_directory}
: This placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the new file or directory you want to compare.
Keep in mind that the explanation provided here assumes the command is using a specific tool called "delta" and may vary if the command actually refers to a different tool or program.
This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and
never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
