The git range-diff
command is used to compare two sets of commits by their differences. It generates a diff summary of the changes between the given revision ranges.
The command syntax is:
git range-diff ${base1}..${rev1} ${base2}..${rev2}
Here's what each parameter represents:
${base1}
: The starting commit (base) of the first range of commits.${rev1}
: The ending commit (revision) of the first range of commits.${base2}
: The starting commit (base) of the second range of commits.${rev2}
: The ending commit (revision) of the second range of commits.
The command compares the commits between ${base1}
and ${rev1}
with the commits between ${base2}
and ${rev2}
. It displays a summary of the differences using the git diff format, highlighting the added, modified, and deleted lines.
This command is helpful when you want to see a concise overview of the changes between two commit ranges without inspecting each commit individually. It can assist in reviewing and understanding the modifications made in each range.
