So you miss bzr qdiff ?

Of course you do ! Why would you be here ?

Installation

$ sudo pip install --upgrade git-qdiff

Dependencies

• git (1.7.11+)
• bazaar
• qbzr tools
• rsync

Usage

Once installed, you should be able to use this command from any git repository:

$ git qdiff

And this should launch your favorite difftool:

Of course you can use the same notation as you would with git diff:

# Show both staged and unstaged changes
$ git qdiff HEAD

# Using tilde and carrets
$ git qdiff HEAD~2..HEAD~3

# Between commits
$ git qdiff 53c43de..7c70faf

# Before merging branches
$ git qdiff origin/master...my_feature_branch

# ...

Known problem

• Refresh button won't work

Before reporting an issue, please check that your bzr qdiff tool works well and that you can actually commit something with bazaar.

Goodies

tig

For those using tig, here's a handy shortcut bound to D key. Add this to your .gitconfig:

[tig "bind"]
    generic = D !git qdiff %(commit)~1..%(commit)

Note: Don't try this on the "unstaged changes" line in tig's log view

alias

This alias is handy when you want to show a single commit in git-qdiff. Add this to your .gitconfig:

[alias]
    qshow = "!git show $1 --quiet; git qdiff $1~1...$1"

and use it like this:

$ git qshow 61376d9
