NAME

gh-pr-diff - View changes in a pull request

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

View changes in a pull request.

Without an argument, the pull request that belongs to the current branch is selected.

With --web flag, open the pull request diff in a web browser instead.

Use --exclude to filter out files matching a glob pattern. The pattern uses forward slashes as path separators on all platforms. You can repeat the flag to exclude multiple patterns.

By default, terminal escape sequences in the diff are neutralized, since they could manipulate your terminal. Pass --allow-escape-sequences to print the diff verbatim, for example when piping a patch to another program.

OPTIONS

--allow-escape-sequences: Allow printing terminal escape sequences
--color <string> (default "auto"): Use color in diff output: {always|never|auto}
-e, --exclude <patterns>: Exclude files matching glob patterns from the diff
--name-only: Display only names of changed files
--patch: Display diff in patch format
-w, --web: Open the pull request diff in the browser

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

-R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>: Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format
