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.

By default, terminal escape sequences in the diff are neutralized, since they could manipulate your terminal. Pass --allow-escape-sequences to print the diff verbatim, for example when piping a patch to another program.

Options

--allow-escape-sequences
Allow printing terminal escape sequences
--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
