Git Diff Helper Scripts

This directory contains bash utility scripts for git diff operations used by the get-git-diff skill.

Scripts Overview

validate.sh

Validation and verification functions.

Functions:

• is_git_repo() - Check if in a git repository
• validate_commit <ref> - Validate a commit reference
• validate_commit_pair <ref1> <ref2> - Validate two commits

Usage:

source validate.sh
if is_git_repo; then
    validate_commit "HEAD"
fi

commit_info.sh

Commit information and metadata retrieval.

Functions:

• get_commit_info <ref> - Get full commit information

Usage:

source commit_info.sh

file_operations.sh

File operation analysis (add, modify, delete, rename).

Functions:

• get_file_operations <ref1> <ref2> - Get file operations

• get_binary_files <ref1> <ref2> - Get binary files
• count_binary_files <ref1> <ref2> - Count binary files
• categorize_files - Categorize files by type (reads from stdin)
• get_categorized_counts <ref1> <ref2> - Get category counts

Usage:

source file_operations.sh
counts=$(count_file_operations "main" "feature-branch")
IFS=$'\t' read -r added modified deleted renamed copied <<< "$counts"
echo "Added: $added, Modified: $modified"

utils.sh

General utility functions.

Functions:

• get_current_branch() - Get current branch name
• get_default_branch() - Get default branch (main/master)
• format_diff_filename <hash1> <hash2> - Format output filename
• get_repo_root() - Get repository root path
• get_repo_name() - Get repository name
• get_remote_url [remote] - Get remote URL
• is_ancestor <ref1> <ref2> - Check if ref1 is ancestor of ref2
• get_common_ancestor <ref1> <ref2> - Get merge base
• format_timestamp [format] - Format current timestamp
• ensure_directory <path> - Create directory if needed
• get_git_config <key> - Get git config value
• is_working_tree_clean() - Check for uncommitted changes
• get_branches [type] - List branches (local/remote/all)
• ref_exists <ref> - Check if ref exists

Usage:

source utils.sh
branch=$(get_current_branch)
filename=$(format_diff_filename "abc123" "def456")

Running Scripts Directly

All scripts can be sourced for their functions or run directly for examples:

# Run directly for examples
./commit_info.sh HEAD
./diff_stats.sh HEAD^ HEAD
./file_operations.sh main feature-branch
./utils.sh

# Source for functions
source diff_stats.sh
if is_large_diff "HEAD^" "HEAD" 500; then
    echo "Large diff detected!"
fi

Complete Example

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Source all helper scripts
SCRIPT_DIR="$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")"
source "${SCRIPT_DIR}/validate.sh"
source "${SCRIPT_DIR}/commit_info.sh"
source "${SCRIPT_DIR}/diff_stats.sh"
source "${SCRIPT_DIR}/file_operations.sh"
source "${SCRIPT_DIR}/utils.sh"

# Validate we're in a git repo
if ! is_git_repo; then
    echo "Error: Not in a git repository"
    exit 1
fi

# Get commits to compare
commit1="HEAD^"
commit2="HEAD"

# Validate commits
if ! validate_commit_pair "$commit1" "$commit2" >/dev/null; then
    echo "Error: Invalid commits"
    exit 1
fi

# Get commit info
info1=$(get_commit_info "$commit1")
info2=$(get_commit_info "$commit2")
IFS='|' read -r _ short1 _ _ _ msg1 <<< "$info1"
IFS='|' read -r _ short2 _ _ _ msg2 <<< "$info2"

echo "Comparing: $short1 → $short2"

# Get statistics
stats=$(get_diff_stats "$commit1" "$commit2")
IFS=$'\t' read -r files ins del net <<< "$stats"

echo "Files: $files"
echo "Changes: +$ins -$del (net: $net)"

# Check if large
if is_large_diff "$commit1" "$commit2"; then
    total=$(is_large_diff "$commit1" "$commit2")
    echo "⚠ Large diff: $total lines"
fi

# File operations
ops=$(count_file_operations "$commit1" "$commit2")
IFS=$'\t' read -r added modified deleted renamed _ <<< "$ops"

echo "Added: $added, Modified: $modified"
if [[ $renamed -gt 0 ]]; then
    echo "Renamed files:"
    get_renamed_files "$commit1" "$commit2" | while IFS=$'\t' read -r sim old new; do
        echo "  $old → $new ($sim%)"
    done
fi

# Generate filename
filename=$(format_diff_filename "$short1" "$short2")
echo "Output: $filename"

Error Handling

All scripts use set -euo pipefail for strict error handling:

• -e: Exit on error
• -u: Exit on undefined variable
• -o pipefail: Fail on pipe errors

When sourcing, you may want to disable this:

set +euo pipefail
source diff_stats.sh
set -euo pipefail

Dependencies

• bash 4.0+
• git 2.0+
• Standard Unix utilities (awk, sed, cut, wc)

Testing

Each script includes a main section that runs when executed directly:

# Test all scripts
./validate.sh HEAD
./commit_info.sh HEAD HEAD^
./diff_stats.sh HEAD^ HEAD
./file_operations.sh HEAD^ HEAD
./utils.sh

Integration with Skill

These scripts are designed to be used by Claude Code when executing the get-git-diff skill. They provide reliable, composable functions for git diff analysis.

Example integration:

# In skill execution
source scripts/validate.sh
source scripts/diff_stats.sh

if validate_commit "$user_commit"; then
    stats=$(get_diff_stats "$user_commit" "HEAD")
    # Process stats...
