get-differences.rst

To get information about differences for a commit specifier in a repository

This example shows view metadata information about changes between two commit specifiers (branch, tag, HEAD, or other fully qualified references, such as commit IDs) in a renamed folder in AWS CodeCommit repository named MyDemoRepo. The example includes several options that are not required, including --before-commit-specifier, --before-path, and --after-path, in order to more fully illustrate how you can use these options to limit the results. The response includes file mode permissions.

Command:

aws codecommit get-differences --repository-name MyDemoRepo --before-commit-specifier 955bba12thisisanexamplethisisanexample --after-commit-specifier 14a95463thisisanexamplethisisanexample --before-path tmp/example-folder --after-path tmp/renamed-folder

Output:

{
  "differences": [
      {
          "afterBlob": {
              "path": "blob.txt",
              "blobId": "2eb4af3b1thisisanexamplethisisanexample1",
