The command "gh pr diff" is used in the GitHub CLI (Command Line Interface) to display the diff (differences) of a pull request (PR).

A pull request is a way to propose changes to a repository in GitHub. When you open a pull request, you are suggesting changes to be reviewed and potentially merged into the main codebase. The "gh pr diff" command allows you to see the changes made in the pull request compared to the branch or branches it is based on.

When you run the "gh pr diff" command, it fetches the changes from the pull request and displays them in a diff format. The diff format highlights the added and removed lines of code, making it easier to review the changes made in the pull request. This helps both the author of the pull request and the reviewers to understand the code modifications and provide feedback.

By using the "gh pr diff" command, you can quickly view the differences in code between branches and assess the impact of the proposed changes before merging them into the main codebase.
