GET /repositories/{workspace}/{repo_slug}/diffstat/{spec}

Produces a response in JSON format with a record for every path modified, including information on the type of the change and the number of lines added and removed.

Single commit spec

If the spec argument to this API is a single commit, the diff is produced against the first parent of the specified commit.

Two commit spec

Two commits separated by .. may be provided as the spec, e.g., 3a8b42..9ff173. When two commits are provided and the topic query parameter is true, this API produces a 2-way three dot diff. This is the diff between source commit and the merge base of the source commit and the destination commit. When the topic query param is false, a simple git-style diff is produced.

The two commits are interpreted as follows:

Servers

Path parameters

Name Type Required Description
spec String Yes

A commit SHA (e.g. 3a8b42) or a commit range using double dot notation (e.g. 3a8b42..9ff173).

repo_slug String Yes

This can either be the repository slug or the UUID of the repository, surrounded by curly-braces, for example: {repository UUID}.

workspace String Yes

This can either be the workspace ID (slug) or the workspace UUID surrounded by curly-braces, for example: {workspace UUID}.

Query parameters

Name Type Required Description
renames Boolean No

Whether to perform rename detection, true if omitted.

ignore_whitespace Boolean No

Generate diffs that ignore whitespace

merge Boolean No

This parameter is deprecated. The 'topic' parameter should be used instead. The 'merge' and 'topic' parameters cannot be both used at the same time.

If true, the source commit is merged into the destination commit, and then a diffstat from the destination to the merge result is returned. If false, a simple 'two dot' diffstat between the source and destination is returned. True if omitted.

topic Boolean No

If true, returns 2-way 'three-dot' diff. This is a diff between the source commit and the merge base of the source commit and the destination commit. If false, a simple 'two dot' diff between the source and destination is returned.

path String No

Limit the diffstat to a particular file (this parameter can be repeated for multiple paths).
