Name¶

dunk - an alternative diff view for Git that is pretty and colorful

Synopsis¶

dunk

Description¶

Dunk is meant to be used as a filter, receiving the output from git diff as its STDIN:

git diff | dunk

dunk will present a two-column, syntax-highlighted view of the differences with the Git index in the current directory.

Options¶

dunk does not have any options.

Examples¶

Given dunk works as a filter, you can specify options to git diff and dunk will work with whatever output it produces:

Dunk will work with commit ranges or specifying files or directories in your Git repository, as follows:


git diff HEAD~.. | dunk


This will present the differences between the immediately past revision to the current one.

You can also specify specific files within the repository to report:


git diff README | dunk


This will only report the differences in the README file.

For further examples, refer to the syntax of git-diff(1), dunk will work on its produced output.
