git question

git question

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

Sorry for the beginner level for this question.

When I do a git pull and I get, for ex:

 etc/NEWS       |  6 ++++++
 lisp/info.el   |  4 ++--
 lisp/server.el | 10 ++++++----

like I just had.

What git command should I use to examine what are the modifications on the three above files?

(better to ask this on help-gnu-emacs)

Click on the file to open.

To show version control related keys, type

  C-x v C-h 

and that suggests typing

  C-x v l

if you then click on a commit line and type d, 
you should see a color highlighted diff listing

Why ?

I'm on the command line. I can't click on a file.

> To show version control related keys, type

I'm asking for a git command from the command line.
If you mean there are none please say so.

I have the following in my ~/.gitconfig

[alias]
        ll = log -p --reverse @{1}..

I usually execute a "git ll" just after any "git pull" I do

$ git diff HEAD@{1}

shows the difference between HEAD and the previous state of HEAD.

So when I do
 git diff HEAD@{2}

I get the result vs the state of HEAD 2 "git pull" before on my machine, right ?

Depends on what you did inbetween.  See git-reflog(1).

Excellent. Thank you !

" For example, HEAD@{2} means "where HEAD used to be two moves ago",
       master@{one.week.ago} means "where master used to point to one week ago in this local
       repository", and so on. See gitrevisions(7) for more details. "

That was new to me -- thanks! Just for completeness' sake, the explicit
(non-relative) way of doing this would be to look at the top of the
fast-forward message and use the updated-from commit as an anchor:

Normally you would first do a “git fetch”, then see the diff between
current state and the remote branch, and only then decide if you want
to merge that:

$ git fetch
$ git diff HEAD..origin/master
$ git merge origin/master

(substitute a different remote branch name as necessary).

But if you did a blind pull already, you can look back this way:

$ git diff HEAD@{1}..

:) I trust the commiters to only commit proper code. I'm just curious about some files sometimes.
But thank you for the hint !

Thank you, and thank you Andreas for the same reply.

Now, if I want to only check 1 file out of the multiple files that have been commited ?

Just add it to the command line.

Note the subtle difference: “git diff HEAD@{1}..” will give the diff
between previous and current states, while “git diff HEAD@{1}” will
give the same diff but in reverse.

Thank you for the notice. The difference had escaped me.

No, they are both the same (unless your working tree is in modified
state).

You mean ..HEAD@{1} will give the reverse diffs, right?
