It analyzes the changes in your local workspace and creates a unified diff file that captures all the modifications. This diff can then be uploaded to Review Board for review.

When running the "rbt diff" command, you can provide various options to customize the diff generation process, such as specifying the target repository, branch, or commit, excluding certain files or directories, or including only specific files. You can also provide additional flags to control how the diff is displayed or created.

Overall, "rbt diff" is a command to generate and display a diff of the local code changes to aid in the code review process.
