We are using git for TFS. I'm looking for something that can do essentially a git-diff on all commits between two dates and times. We know we can build something manually, but for compliance reasons, it's easier to get something through if it already exists.

  • I've updated the question as I'm not looking for just software recommendations. I use git with TFS and am looking to see how others have been able to produce diff reports to provide to compliance officers. – Jason N. Gaylord Apr 17 '15 at 12:11

To show the diffs for a single commit, do

git show $thatcommit

To show the diffs from one commit to any other commit, do

git diff $theonecommit $theothercommit

To show the individual diffs for each of a set of commits, do e.g. 

git log -c -p master..topic    # to get all the unmerged topic commits

  • I'm currently using git diff $theonecommit $theothercommit, but the formatting isn't the best to just copy and paste. Looking for either (a) report in TFS (b) some example that shows this in a nice format (html, pdf, etc) without the need to copy and paste. – Jason N. Gaylord Apr 17 '15 at 12:10
  • I confess I can't think of any reason to want a diff in pdf format. Could you update your question to explain what use you have in mind here? – jthill Apr 17 '15 at 23:56
