Description
===========

Gets the line-by-line difference between file on different commits.
This API will be deprecated on Wed, 29 Mar 2023 01:00:00 GMT as it
does not get recognized when filePath has ‘/’. This will be replaced
by “/repositories/{repositoryId}/file/diffs”


Usage
=====

   oci devops repository get-file-diff [OPTIONS]


Required Parameters
===================

--base-version [text]

The branch to compare changes against.

--file-path [text]

Path to a file within a repository.

--repository-id [text]

Unique repository identifier.

--target-version [text]

The branch where changes are coming from.


Optional Parameters
===================

--from-json [text]

Provide input to this command as a JSON document from a file using the
file://path-to/file syntax.

The "--generate-full-command-json-input" option can be used to
generate a sample json file to be used with this command option. The
key names are pre-populated and match the command option names
(converted to camelCase format, e.g. compartment-id –> compartmentId),
while the values of the keys need to be populated by the user before
using the sample file as an input to this command. For any command
option that accepts multiple values, the value of the key can be a
JSON array.

Options can still be provided on the command line. If an option exists
in both the JSON document and the command line then the command line
specified value will be used.

For examples on usage of this option, please see our “using CLI with
advanced JSON options” link: https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/iaas/Conte
nt/API/SDKDocs/cliusing.htm#AdvancedJSONOptions

--is-comparison-from-merge-base [boolean]

Boolean to indicate whether to use merge base or most recent revision.

Example using required parameter
================================

Copy and paste the following example into a JSON file, replacing the
example parameters with your own.

       oci devops project create --generate-param-json-input notification-config > notification-config.json

Copy the following CLI commands into a file named example.sh. Run the
command by typing “bash example.sh” and replacing the example
parameters with your own.

Please note this sample will only work in the POSIX-compliant bash-

security policies before trying the examples.
