diff-generate

diff-generate

Create patches from local Git repository with provided REPO_PATH

You can add additional options and parameters, which will be passed to the git format-patch command. With those options and arguments, you can specify which commits to operate on.

1. A single commit, <since>, specifies that commits leading to the tip of the current branch that are not in the history that leads to the <since> to be output. Example: 'HEAD~2'. Not supported with '--use-fanout'.

2. Generic <revision-range> expression means the commits in the specified range. Example: 'origin/main..main', or '--root HEAD', or '--user=joe --root HEAD'.

If not provided <since> or <revision-range>, a single patch for the current commit on the current branch will be created ('HEAD').

To create patches for everything since the beginning of history up until <commit>, use '--root <commit>' as extra options.

Usage:

console $ diff-generate [OPTIONS] REPO_PATH

• REPO_PATH: Path to git repository. [required]

Options:

• --output-dir DIRECTORY: Where to save generated patches.
