I have forked the git repository of a project on Github and made my own changes to it. I wanted to get a diff between my repository and the original repository that I've forked. Can someone tell me the git command to get that diff? I need to submit the diff for review.
Original repository:
git://github.com/apache/hive.git
My repository:
[email protected]:prafullat/hive.git
Here are the details from my .git/config
[remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = [email protected]:prafullat/hive.git [remote "mirror"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = git://github.com/apache/hive.git
I tried looking at other posted questions regarding the same topic and could not get it to work.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
To compare any two commits in your branch, use the Ctrl key to select the two commits that you want to compare. Then right-click one of them and select Compare Commits. Similar to Commit Details, you can use the Open in New Tab button to open the comparison on a different tab or maximize it on the screen.
Comparing branches is as easy as selecting the “compare to branch” option while perusing the feature branch you'd like to compare to another. The compare to branch option in GitHub Desktop is located under the “Branch” in the main menu at the top of the interface.
You need to fetch the latest of both remote repositories and compare the main branches to each other. It looks like the main branch is the 'trunk' branch, so you can see what commits are unique to your project (and not in the trunk branch of the 'mirror' project) like this:

Or you can remove the --oneline
to see the full commit messages. It looks like they're all yours. You can also add a --no-merges
if you don't want to see those merge commits.
Next, you can get the actual diff by running this:
$ git diff --stat mirror/trunk...origin/trunk README.txt | 4 +- build.xml | 1 + .../java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/conf/HiveConf.java | 1 + ivy/ivysettings.xml | 4 +- metastore/if/hive_metastore.thrift | 12 +- .../apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/api/Index.java | 15 +- .../hive/metastore/api/ThriftHiveMetastore.java | 671 +++++++++++++++++++- metastore/src/gen-php/hive_metastore_types.php | 30 +- .../hadoop/hive/metastore/HiveMetaStore.java | 155 ++++- .../hadoop/hive/metastore/HiveMetaStoreClient.java | 9 +- .../hadoop/hive/metastore/IMetaStoreClient.java | 14 + .../hadoop/hive/metastore/MetaStoreUtils.java | 31 + (bunch more lines) ql/src/test/queries/clientpositive/index_compact.q | 13 + .../test/queries/clientpositive/index_projection.q | 13 + ql/src/test/queries/clientpositive/index_summary.q | 13 + .../queries/clientpositive/ql_rewrite_gbtoidx.q | 9 + .../results/clientpositive/index_compact.q.out | 70 ++ .../clientpositive/ql_rewrite_gbtoidx.q.out | 211 ++++++ .../primitive/PrimitiveObjectInspectorUtils.java | 29 +- 57 files changed, 4000 insertions(+), 131 deletions(-)
If you remove the --stat
, you'll get the actual diff. The ...
in between the mirror/trunk
and origin/trunk
is a shorthand saying you want the diff between the common ancestor, so it doesn't give you a diff removing everything added to the original project since you started, it just gives you the changes you've made on your branch.
There is a flaw in this, in case anyone comes across this question again.
[remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = [email protected]:prafullat/hive.git [remote "mirror"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = git://github.com/apache/hive.git
Whenever you do a git fetch on mirror it overwrites the same remote branch in your .git/refs/remotes. You should make sure to change the remote mirror fetch to reflect the new name.
[remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = giturl [remote "mirror"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/mirror/* url = giturl
Then a simple
git diff origin/master..mirror/master
