diff

Display differences between changes in unified diff format.

The diff command compares file contents between two changes and shows what has been added, removed, or modified.

Arguments:

  • No arguments: Compare current change to its parent
  • One argument: Compare specified change to current change
  • Two arguments: Compare first change to second change

You can specify changes using:

  • Full change name (e.g., “bitter-rose-1234”)
  • Change name prefix (e.g., “bitter-rose”)
  • Bookmark name (e.g., “main”)

The output uses Git-style unified diff format, making it easy to see exactly what changed between two versions.
