Subject: Diff --stat for files that differ only in whitespace
Date: Fri, 31 Jul 2020 09:10:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAOjrSZtQPQ8Xxuz+7SGykR8Q-gFDEZANSE5yQASqKjpbUAq_5Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
When using a repository with "core.autocrlf=false" I'm trying to run a diff
between two commits that have many files (~1000) changed that differ mostly
in line endings or other whitespace. When I run
`git diff --stat --ignore-all-space <commit-1> <commit-2>` I'm getting an output
that has many files listed like:
some-file.txt | 0
This is easy enough to parse through when it's a small number of files but when
there is ~1000 files with only maybe 1500 insertions/deletions showing it's not
really useful to me to see a list of those 1000 files, if there was a way to
sort by number of insertion/deletions or filter out the files that had 0
effective changes that would solve my problem.
Simple example:
```
mkdir example && cd example
git init
git config --local core.autocrlf false
echo HELLO > file.txt
echo WORLD >> file.txt
git add file.txt
git commit -m "first kind of line endings"
<use an editor to swap out the line endings>
git add file.txt
git commit -m "second kind of line endings"
git diff --stat --ignore-all-space HEAD~1 HEAD
```
Thanks,
Matthew Rogers
