From: Vanderhoof, Tzadik Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 23:01:41 GMT Subject: new git-diff switch to eliminate leading "+" and "-" characters Message-ID: <2C8817BDA27E034F8E9A669458E375EF11886C5A@APSWP0428.ms.ds.uhc.com> The output of git-diff includes lines beginning with "+" and "-" to indicate added and deleted lines. A somewhat common task (at least for me) is to want to copy output from a "diff" (usually the deleted lines) and paste it back into my code. This is quite inconvenient because of the leading "+" and "-" characters. I know there are shell and IDE / editor workarounds but it would be nice if there was a switch to git-diff to make it leave out those characters, especially since "--color" kind of makes those leading characters obsolete. Would it make sense to develop such a switch or has there been work on that already? ______________________________ Tzadik Vanderhoof | Optum360 Sr Software Engineer, NLP Innovation www.optum360.com This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
