Module: Git::Parsers::Diff Private

Defined in:
lib/git/parsers/diff.rb

Overview

This module is part of a private API. You should avoid using this module if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Note:

Combined/merge diffs (e.g., from git diff --cc or git show <merge>) are not supported. These have a different format with multiple +/- columns per parent.

Parser for git diff output in various formats

Handles parsing of --numstat, --shortstat, --dirstat, --raw, and --patch output. This parser is used by stash show, diff, show, and log commands.

Design Note: Namespace Organization

This parser creates and returns DiffResult and DiffFile*Info objects, which live at the top-level Git:: namespace rather than within Git::Parsers::. This is intentional:

  • Parsers are infrastructure - marked @api private, users shouldn't interact with them directly
  • Info/Result classes are public API - returned by commands and used throughout the codebase
  • Info classes are domain entities - represent git diff data
  • Result classes are operation outcomes - represent command results, not parsing details

Keeping Info/Result classes at Git:: improves discoverability and correctly reflects their role as public types rather than parser internals.
