For code review purpose, sometimes exporting all changes between 2 commits is an effective way. This is how it works:
– Check commit history again on branch (suppose that we need to see on development branch)
git log –oneline development
Output:
98b47a6 HER-64: Flipping book button
b90eecc HER-65 – fixed problem with js, css and layout
b367828 HER-62: fix hidden mobile menu item
8b0f589 HER-57: Package Price show/hide for customergroup
64cb36d Merge branch ‘development’
– For example, we need to see changes between 64cb36d and 98b47a6, we use command:
git diff 64cb36d^..98b47a6
– If you need to export to file: git diff 64cb36d^..98b47a6 > somefile.txt
There are several other ways of diff command:
– Compare present code with the code in staging area: git diff
– Compare present code with the last commit: git diff –staged
– Compare present code with commit b5c0c61: git diff b5c0c61
– Compare code between commit b5c0c61 and the last commit: git diff b5c0c61 HEAD
– Compare code between commit 64cb36d and 98b47a6: git diff 64cb36d 98b47a6
