diff ==== :Purpose: Show differences in the working tree, between revisions or branches. :Usage: bzr diff [FILE...] :Options: --old=ARG Branch/tree to compare from. -v, --verbose Display more information. --format=ARG Diff format to use. -q, --quiet Only display errors and warnings. -p ARG, --prefix=ARG Set prefixes added to old and new filenames, as two values separated by a colon. (eg "old/:new/"). --using=ARG Use this command to compare files. --usage Show usage message and options. --new=ARG Branch/tree to compare to. -r ARG, --revision=ARG See "help revisionspec" for details. --diff-options=ARG Pass these options to the external diff program. -c ARG, --change=ARG Select changes introduced by the specified revision. See also "help revisionspec". -h, --help Show help message. :Description: If no arguments are given, all changes for the current tree are listed. If files are given, only the changes in those files are listed. Remote and multiple branches can be compared by using the --old and --new options. If not provided, the default for both is derived from the first argument, if any, or the current tree if no arguments are given. "bzr diff -p1" is equivalent to "bzr diff --prefix old/:new/", and produces patches suitable for "patch -p1". :Exit values: 1 - changed 2 - unrepresentable changes 3 - error 0 - no change :Examples: Shows the difference in the working tree versus the last commit:: bzr diff Difference between the working tree and revision 1:: bzr diff -r1 Difference between revision 3 and revision 1:: bzr diff -r1..3 Difference between revision 3 and revision 1 for branch xxx:: bzr diff -r1..3 xxx To see the changes introduced in revision X:: bzr diff -cX Note that in the case of a merge, the -c option shows the changes compared to the left hand parent. To see the changes against another parent, use:: bzr diff -r<chosen_parent>..X The changes introduced by revision 2 (equivalent to -r1..2):: bzr diff -c2 Show just the differences for file NEWS:: bzr diff NEWS Show the differences in working tree xxx for file NEWS:: bzr diff xxx/NEWS Show the differences from branch xxx to this working tree: bzr diff --old xxx Show the differences between two branches for file NEWS:: bzr diff --old xxx --new yyy NEWS Same as 'bzr diff' but prefix paths with old/ and new/:: bzr diff --prefix old/:new/ :Aliases: di, dif :See also: :doc:`status <status-help>`
