ifdef::git-format-patch[]
-p::
--no-stat::
	Generate plain patches without any diffstats.
endif::git-format-patch[]

ifndef::git-format-patch[]
`-p`::
`-u`::
`--patch`::
	Generate patch (see <<generate_patch_text_with_p>>).
ifdef::git-diff[]
	This is the default.
endif::git-diff[]

`-s`::
`--no-patch`::
	Suppress all output from the diff machinery.  Useful for
	commands like `git show` that show the patch by default to
	squelch their output, or to cancel the effect of options like
	`--patch`, `--stat` earlier on the command line in an alias.

endif::git-format-patch[]

ifdef::git-log[]
-m::
	Show diffs for merge commits in the default format. This is
	similar to `--diff-merges=on`, except `-m` will
	produce no output unless `-p` is given as well.

-c::
	Produce combined diff output for merge commits.
	Shortcut for `--diff-merges=combined -p`.

--cc::
	Produce dense combined diff output for merge commits.
	Shortcut for `--diff-merges=dense-combined -p`.

--dd::
	Produce diff with respect to first parent for both merge and
	regular commits.
	Shortcut for `--diff-merges=first-parent -p`.

--remerge-diff::
	Produce remerge-diff output for merge commits.
	Shortcut for `--diff-merges=remerge -p`.

--no-diff-merges::
	Synonym for `--diff-merges=off`.

--diff-merges=<format>::
	Specify diff format to be used for merge commits. Default is
	{diff-merges-default} unless `--first-parent` is in use, in
	which case `first-parent` is the default.
+
The following formats are supported:
+
--
off, none::
	Disable output of diffs for merge commits. Useful to override
	implied value.

on, m::
	Make diff output for merge commits to be shown in the default
	format. The default format can be changed using
	`log.diffMerges` configuration variable, whose default value
	is `separate`.

first-parent, 1::
	Show full diff with respect to first parent. This is the same
	format as `--patch` produces for non-merge commits.

separate::
	Show full diff with respect to each of parents.
	Separate log entry and diff is generated for each parent.

combined, c::
	Show differences from each of the parents to the merge
	result simultaneously instead of showing pairwise diff between
	a parent and the result one at a time. Furthermore, it lists
	only files which were modified from all parents.

dense-combined, cc::
	Further compress output produced by `--diff-merges=combined`
	by omitting uninteresting hunks whose contents in the parents
	have only two variants and the merge result picks one of them
	without modification.

remerge, r::
	Remerge two-parent merge commits to create a temporary tree
	object--potentially containing files with conflict markers
	and such.  A diff is then shown between that temporary tree
	and the actual merge commit.
+
The output emitted when this option is used is subject to change, and
so is its interaction with other options (unless explicitly
documented).
--

--combined-all-paths::
	Cause combined diffs (used for merge commits) to
	list the name of the file from all parents.  It thus only has
	effect when `--diff-merges=[dense-]combined` is in use, and
	is likely only useful if filename changes are detected (i.e.
	when either rename or copy detection have been requested).
endif::git-log[]

`-U<n>`::
`--unified=<n>`::
	Generate diffs with _<n>_ lines of context instead of
	the usual three.
ifndef::git-format-patch[]
	Implies `--patch`.
endif::git-format-patch[]

`--output=<file>`::
	Output to a specific file instead of stdout.

`--output-indicator-new=<char>`::
`--output-indicator-old=<char>`::
`--output-indicator-context=<char>`::
