Git Diff Tree Command

git-diff-tree(1) ================ NAME ---- git-diff-tree - Compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git diff-tree' [--stdin] [-m] [-s] [-v] [--no-commit-id] [--pretty] [-t] [-r] [-c | --cc] [--combined-all-paths] [--root] [--merge-base] [<common-diff-options>] <tree-ish> [<tree-ish>] [<path>...] DESCRIPTION ----------- Compare the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects. If there is only one <tree-ish> given, the commit is compared with its parents (see --stdin below). Note that 'git diff-tree' can use the tree encapsulated in a commit object. OPTIONS ------- include::diff-options.adoc[] <tree-ish>:: The id of a tree object. <path>...:: If provided, the results are limited to a subset of files matching one of the provided pathspecs. -r:: Recurse into sub-trees. -t:: Show tree entry itself as well as subtrees. Implies -r. --root:: When `--root` is specified the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event. This is equivalent to a diff against the NULL tree. --merge-base:: Instead of comparing the <tree-ish>s directly, use the merge base between the two <tree-ish>s as the "before" side. There must be two <tree-ish>s given and they must both be commits. --stdin:: When `--stdin` is specified, the command does not take <tree-ish> arguments from the command line. Instead, it reads lines containing either two <tree>, one <commit>, or a list of <commit> from its standard input. (Use a single space as separator.) + When two trees are given, it compares the first tree with the second. When a single commit is given, it compares the commit with its parents. The remaining commits, when given, are used as if they are parents of the first commit. + When comparing two trees, the ID of both trees (separated by a space and terminated by a newline) is printed before the difference. When comparing commits, the ID of the first (or only) commit, followed by a newline, is printed. + The following flags further affect the behavior when comparing commits (but not

The git-diff-tree command compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects, providing options to customize the comparison, such as recursive sub-tree comparison, tree entry display, and merge base calculation.
