PATCHVIEW(1) Man pages PATCHVIEW(1) NAME patchview, gitdiff, gitdiffview, gitshow, gitshowview, svndiff, svndiffview - Without options, show numbered files modified by the patch. With options, behave as filterdiff. SYNOPSIS patchview [[-n] | [--line-number]] [[-p n] | [--strip-match=n]] [--strip=n] [--git-prefixes=strip|keep] [--git-extended-diffs=exclude|in- clude] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [[-s] | [--status]] [[-E] | [--empty-files-as-removed]] [[-i PATTERN] | [--include=PATTERN]] [[-x PATTERN] | [--exclude=PATTERN]] [[-z] | [--decompress]] [[-# RANGE] | [--hunks=RANGE]] [--lines=RANGE] [[-FRANGE] | [--files=RANGE]] [[-H] | [--with-filename]] [[-h] | [--no-file- name]] [[-v] | [--verbose]...] [file...] patchview {[--help] | [--version] | [--filter ...] | [--grep ...]} DESCRIPTION So what is patchview? It is a wrapper of filterdiff for use with numbered files. patchview (without args) is equivalent to: lsdiff --number patchview -F2- (or with any other args) is equivalent to: filterdiff -F2- (or whatever ar- guments are supplied) There are 4 scripts for working with git repos (gitdiff, gitdiffview, git- show and gitshowview) and 2 for svn (svndiff and svndiffview). svndiff gitdiff (without args) will give the list of files modified svndiff -F1 gitdiff -F1 will show the patch of file #1 svndiffview gitdiffview pipe all patches through filterdiff to vim - -R (in read-only mode, easy to quit), showing complete patch with color. svndiffview -F2 gitdiffview -F2 (or any other args) will pipe patch of file #2 to vim - -R gitshow gitshowview This is the same as gitdiff but uses git show instead of git diff. OPTIONS -n, --line-number Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose output is requested (using -nv), each hunk of each patch is listed as well. For each file that is modified, a line is generated containing the line number of the beginning of the patch, followed by a Tab character, fol- lowed by the name of the file that is modified. If -v is given once, following each of these lines will be one line for each hunk, consist- ing of a Tab character, the line number that the hunk begins at, an- other Tab character, the string "Hunk #", and the hunk number (starting at 1). If the -v is given twice in conjunction with -n (i.e. -nvv), the for- mat is slightly different: hunk-level descriptive text is shown after each hunk number, and the --number-files option is enabled. -N, --number-files File numbers are listed, beginning at 1, before each filename. -#RANGE, --hunks=RANGE Only list hunks within the specified RANGE. Hunks are numbered from 1, and the range is a comma-separated list of numbers or "first-last" spans, optionally preceded by a modifier 'x' which inverts the entire range; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indi- cate no limit in that direction. --lines=RANGE Only list hunks that contain lines from the original file that lie within the specified RANGE. Lines are numbered from 1, and the range is a comma-separated list of numbers or "first-last" spans, optionally preceded by a modifier 'x' which inverts the entire range; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no limit in that direction. -F=RANGE, --files=RANGE Only list files indicated by the specified RANGE. Files are numbered from 1 in the order they appear in the patch input, and the range is a comma-separated list of numbers or "first-last" spans, optionally pre- ceded by a modifier 'x' which inverts the entire range; either the first or the last in the span may be omitted to indicate no limit in that direction. -pn, --strip-match=n When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname. --strip=n Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it. --git-prefixes=strip|keep How to handle a/ and b/ prefixes in Git diff filenames. With strip, re- moves the prefixes both for filename matching (when using -i and -x op- tions) and for filename output (similar to --strip). With keep (de- fault), preserves existing behavior. Applies to both Git-specific diffs (binary files, renames, mode changes) and traditional diffs when part of a Git patch. Note: With keep, copy and rename operations are treated as if they had a/ and b/ prefixes for consistency with other Git opera- tions. The default will change to strip in version 0.5.0. --git-extended-diffs=exclude|include Controls whether to process Git diffs without traditional content hunks. This includes renames, copies, mode-only changes, and binary files. With exclude (default in 0.4.x), these diffs are skipped. With include (default in 0.5.0+), these diffs are processed normally. This option affects file numbering with -N and file filtering with -F. --addprefix=PREFIX Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it. -s, --status Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is in- dicated by a "+", a removal by a "-", and a modification by a "!". --empty-files-as-absent, --empty-files-as-removed Treat empty files as absent for the purpose of displaying file addi- tions, modifications and removals. For example, a file with an empty old version and additions in the new version will be treated as a file addition (+) rather than a modification (!). Note: For grepdiff, only the long form is available (-E means --extended-regexp for grepdiff). -iPATTERN, --include=PATTERN Include only files matching PATTERN. -xPATTERN, --exclude=PATTERN Exclude files matching PATTERN. -z, --decompress Decompress files with extensions .gz and .bz2. -H, --with-filename Print the name of the patch file containing each patch. -h, --no-filename Suppress the name of the patch file containing each patch. -v, --verbose Verbose output. For the git and svn wrapper scripts (gitdiff, gitdif- fview, gitshow, gitshowview, svndiff, svndiffview), this option shows the full command that is being executed. --help Display a short usage message. --version Display the version number of patchview. --filter Behave like filterdiff(1) instead. --grep Behave like grepdiff(1) instead. SEE ALSO lsdiff(1),filterdiff(1), grepdiff(1) EXAMPLES We can make the following one-line script with the name difftotrunk.sh, to view the differences of two directories or svn repos (trunk and .) diff ../trunk . -ru -x .svn | patchview "$@" ./difftotrunk.sh , will show all different files and his number. ./difftotrunk.sh -F3,4 , will show the differences of files #3 and #4 only. ./difftotrunk.sh -F3 -#1 , will show only hunk #1 of file #3. ./difftotrunk.sh -F3 -#x1 , will show the differences of files #3 without hunk #1 (x means that exclude).
