Question: Getting 'git diff' to generate /usr/bin/diff output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am trying to learn how to use git, and am having difficulty using 'git diff'.

I can't deal with its output very well. What I would really like to do is apply
/usr/lib/diff. Would some kind soul be willing to tell me if there is a way to
do that, short of making a backup copy of the relevant file, and then doing
'git checkout'. Maybe the '--ext-diff' argument to 'git diff' will do that,
but I can't figure out how to use it.

Thank you, most kindly.

Context:

    Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.8

    git version: 2.5.1.454.g1616360
