GT-PR-DIFF(1) gitea-cli Manual GT-PR-DIFF(1)

gt-pr-diff - Show the changes of a pull request

gt pr diff [<number> | <url> | <branch>] [flags]

Show the changes of a pull request as a unified diff.

On a terminal the diff is colored and paged. Piped, it is written unchanged, so that gt pr diff 13 | git apply works, and --name-only writes the exact file names.

A pull request can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, such as "13" or "#13"
- by URL, such as "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/pulls/13"
- by the name of its head branch, such as "feature/login" or "bob:feature/login"; a branch that
  reads as OWNER/REPO#N, such as "fix/login#2", needs the OWNER:BRANCH form
Without an argument, the pull request of the current branch is selected.

--color="auto" Color the diff {auto|always|never}

-h, --help[=false] help for diff

--name-only[=false] List only the names of the changed files

-w, --web[=false] Open the changed files in the browser

--cwd="" Working directory for repository discovery

--debug[=false] Log the method, URL, status, and duration of each HTTP request to stderr

--host="" Gitea instance URL, including any base path

--interactive[=false] Allow prompts with machine output

--no-input[=false] Disable prompts and implicit editor/browser interactions
