Git Attributes Diff Filter 配置


Diff Filter

Git diff 只能比较文本,如果能将二进制转换为文本,那么就可以实现二进制的对比。

Diff filter 在对比前将原始数据转换为文本,然后将文本内容交给 Git diff 进行差异计算:

旧原始数据 --> Diff filter --> 处理后的数据(文本) --\
                                                 > 对比
新原始数据 --> Diff filter --> 处理后的数据(文本) --/

添加一个 Diff filter

编辑 .gitattributes:

*.xx diff=your_filter

所有 *.xx 文件都需要经过 your_filter 处理,那 your_filter 去哪里找?答案是 git config:

git config diff.your_filter.textconv your_program
  • textconv 将需要对比数据转换文本格式

可执行程序 your_program 需要满足以文件路径作为参数,并将结果打印到标准输出。

示例

PNG 元数据对比

exiftool 可以获取文件的元数据,且以文件路径为参数,结果打印到标准输出,可直接作为一个 Diff Filter:

$ exiftool 1.png

编辑 .gitattributes:

*.png diff=exif
  • PNG 文件对比前交由 exif 过滤器处理

配置 exif 过滤器:

git config diff.exif.textconv exiftool

执行 git diff 或者 git show

  • 旧文件路径为 /tmp/4nFqmN*1.png,说明对比前会创建临时文件,该文件路径会作为过滤器的参数

  • 元数据对比结果,而非 PNG 文件本身

十六进制方式对比

修改 .gitattributes:

*.bin diff=hex
  • *.bin 交个过滤器 hex 处理

配置 hex 过滤器:

git config diff.hex.textconv "hexdump -C"

执行 git diff 或者 git show
