Get Commit Diff

Authorizations

Authorization
string
header
required

Bearer authentication header of the form Bearer <token>, where <token> is your auth token.

Path Parameters

repo_name
string
required

Repository name. Names that contain / or any other character that is not safe in a URL path segment must be URL encoded so the value occupies a single path segment. For example pierre/example is sent as pierre%2Fexample. Plain names such as example can be sent as-is. The server URL-decodes the value before resolving the repository.

Query Parameters

string
required

Commit SHA to diff.

baseSha
string

Optional base commit SHA to diff against. When omitted, the diff is generated against the commit's parent.

path
string[]

Optional repeated path filter. Provide multiple path query values to restrict the diff to specific files or directories.

gitApplyCompatible
boolean

When enabled, concatenate files[].raw in response order and apply the result against the selected base with git apply. Changes listed in filtered_files are not included in the patch. Defaults to false, preserving review-oriented whitespace suppression.
