我一直在尝试添加和提交,使用diff
显示HEAD、索引和工作目录之间的差异。使用diff
,我的理解是它应该指定哪些文件已更改,但它也应该指定文件之间的差异(例如,如果我将"hello"写入文件中,当我运行diff
并比较两个文件时,它应该说+hello
(或类似的内容))。
然而,当我使用diff
时,它只显示文件已更改;它未能显示这些更改是什么。为什么它没有显示文件中的具体更改——我实际添加的文本,我删除了什么等等?如果diff
不能做到这一点,有没有一个命令可以用来做到呢?
谢谢。
为了进行全面测试,我删除了.git
并运行了git-init
,然后发现diff
未显示所有三种变化的diff
(git diff
、git diff --cached
和git diff HEAD
)。我使用的文件是t.txt
。下面是我的控制台输出,我对其进行了格式化以便阅读;>>
是Powershell提示输入的地方,我在控制台中输入了它要求的内容;注释是我随着过程编写的,用>> # <comment>
