mise dotfiles history diff

• Usage: mise dotfiles history diff [FLAGS] [A] [B]
• Effect: read-only
• Source code: src/cli/dotfiles/history/diff.rs

Compare checkpoints, or your files against one

Without arguments, shows unsaved changes: the files on disk against the latest checkpoint. With one reference, shows what that checkpoint changed since the one before it. With two, compares them.

Arguments

• [A] — Numeric checkpoint ID, latest, latest~N, or commit:<sha>
• [B] — Compare A with this checkpoint instead of its predecessor

Flags

• --operation — Compare an operation with the checkpoint it saved before it ran

  With no reference, uses the newest operation, ignoring later saves. With one reference, uses that operation. Fails if the operation's earlier checkpoint is unavailable instead of comparing an unrelated save.

• -p --patch — Print the full patch instead of a per-file summary

• --path <PATH> — Restrict to one path (a file or a directory)

• --exit-code — Exit 1 when the two sides differ

• -h --help — Print help

Examples
