.. _dot2-dot3:
========================================
Two and three dots in difference specs
========================================
Thanks to Yarik Halchenko for this explanation.
Imagine a series of commits A, B, C, D... Imagine that there are two
branches, *topic* and *main*. You branched *topic* off *main* when
*main* was at commit 'E'. The graph of the commits looks like this::
A---B---C topic
/
D---E---F---G main
Then::
git diff main..topic
will output the difference from G to C (i.e. with effects of F and G),
while::
git diff main...topic
would output just differences in the topic branch (i.e. only A, B, and
C).
