6 git-diff-files - Compares files in the working tree and the index
12 'git diff-files' [-q] [-0 | -1 | -2 | -3 | -c | --cc] [<common-diff-options>] [<path>...]
16 Compares the files in the working tree and the index. When paths
17 are specified, compares only those named paths. Otherwise all
18 entries in the index are compared. The output format is the
19 same as for 'git diff-index' and 'git diff-tree'.

29 Diff against the "base" version, "our branch", or "their
30 branch" respectively. With these options, diffs for
31 merged entries are not shown.
33 The default is to diff against our branch (-2) and the
34 cleanly resolved paths. The option -0 can be given to
35 omit diff output for unmerged entries and just show "Unmerged".
39 This compares stage 2 (our branch), stage 3 (their
40 branch), and the working tree file and outputs a combined
41 diff, similar to the way 'diff-tree' shows a merge
42 commit with these flags.
