Git.DiffRawEntry (git v0.7.0)

A single record from git's raw diff format, as produced by git diff-tree, git diff-index, and git diff-files with --raw -z.

Each record describes one changed path:

:<old_mode> <new_mode> <old_sha> <new_sha> <status>\0<path>\0

status is a single letter for the common cases:

"A" - added
"D" - deleted
"M" - modified
"T" - type changed (e.g. file to symlink)

For renames (R) and copies (C) git appends a similarity score to the status letter (e.g. "R100") and emits a SECOND NUL-terminated path. In that case status holds the raw token including the score, and path holds the destination (new) path. The source path is not retained in this struct.

old_sha / new_sha are all-zero when the corresponding side does not exist (for example old_sha is zeroed for an added file).

Summary

Types

t()

Functions

parse(stdout)

Parses NUL-delimited raw diff output into a list of Git.DiffRawEntry structs.

Types

t()

@type t() :: %Git.DiffRawEntry{
  new_mode: String.t(),
  new_sha: String.t(),
  old_mode: String.t(),
  old_sha: String.t(),
  path: String.t(),
  status: String.t()
}

Functions

parse(stdout)

@spec parse(String.t()) :: [t()]

Parses NUL-delimited raw diff output into a list of Git.DiffRawEntry structs.

Any leading token that is not a metadata record is skipped. This handles the bare commit-id header (a SHA followed by NUL) that single-argument git diff-tree emits before its records.

Combined-diff records (merge output prefixed with ::) do not match the expected five-field shape and are skipped rather than mis-parsed.

Returns [] for empty input.
