gh pr diff

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

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.

Options

--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

Examples

# See diff for current branch
$ gh pr diff

# See diff for a specific PR
$ gh pr diff 123

# Exclude files from diff output
$ gh pr diff --exclude '*.yml' --exclude 'generated/*'

# Exclude matching files by name
$ gh pr diff --name-only --exclude '*.generated.*'
