Dbol Cycle: Guide To Stacking, Dosages, And Side Effects

Below is a quick "first‑look" review of the outline you posted – it’s already well‑structured, but I’ve highlighted a few places where you might tighten things up, add context, or think about what the reader actually wants to know. I’ll also point out some small formatting quirks that can make a big difference when this turns into prose.

---

1. "A Quick Introduction" – keep it light

Section What’s good Where you could tighten

What the `git diff` command does Clear, concise definition. Good. Add a quick example right after the explanation ("`git diff HEAD~1…HEAD` shows changes in the last commit"). It turns abstract into concrete immediately.

Where it comes from Nice historical note about "diff" and Unix. Consider adding a one‑sentence note that Git’s own diff engine is not just `diff`. E.g., "Git uses its own algorithm to compute differences."

When you use it Good bullet list. Maybe give an example of how it can be used in practice: "You can pipe the output to a file for later review."

3. What’s Missing – Key Concepts That Should Be Covered

Concept Why It Matters Suggested Content

Unified Diff vs Normal Diff Users often see unified diff (`-u`) in Git logs, but the original article only mentions "diff" without context. Explain that `git diff` defaults to normal diff (hunk format) and can be toggled with flags like `--unified`, `-U`.

Context Lines The number of surrounding lines shown matters for readability; Git allows customizing this. Show how to use `-C` or `-U` options, e.g., `git diff -U5`.

Side-by-side (Word Diff) Many developers prefer side-by-side view (`--word-diff`). Provide example: `git diff --word-diff=color`.

Diffing Staged vs. Working Directory Distinguishing between changes in the index and working tree is critical. Use `git diff` vs. `git diff --cached`.

Commit Range Diff Comparing two commits or branches. Show `git diff commit1..commit2`.

File-specific Diff Filtering diff to a specific file or path. Example: `git diff HEAD -- path/to/file`.

Graphical Diff Tools Integration with external GUI tools (`--tool=meld`, etc.). Example: `git difftool -t meld`.

4.2 Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

Pitfall Explanation Remedy

Forgetting to use `--cached` when comparing staged changes Diff shows working tree differences, not staged ones Use `git diff --cached` or `git diff --staged`

| Using `git diff HEAD` without specifying a commit | Might be ambiguous if you’re on detached head | Explicitly specify the commit: `git diff ` |
| Accidentally committing untracked files due to `git add .` | Unintended files get staged | Use explicit file lists or `.gitignore` |
| Relying solely on `git status` for differences | Status shows only summary, not actual content | Inspect with `git diff` |
| Forgetting that `git diff --cached` shows changes to be committed | Can misinterpret which files are truly changed | Verify with `git diff HEAD` and `git diff --cached` |

4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What if I only want to see differences for a specific file or directory?

Use the pathspec after the command:

Show changes made in 'src/' compared to index:

git diff src/

Show staged changes for 'config.yaml':

git diff --cached config.yaml

Compare HEAD with another commit for a single file:

git diff abc123..def456 -- path/to/file.txt

Q2: How can I get a list of changed files without the actual diffs?

The `--name-only` or `--name-status` options are handy:

Staged changes only:

git diff --cached --name-only

Unstaged changes:

git diff --name-only

Both staged and unstaged (i.e., all working directory changes):

git status --porcelain | awk 'print $2'

The `--porcelain` output is stable for parsing by scripts.

Q3: If I want to see the differences between two specific commits, how do I do that?

Use a regular diff with commit hashes:

Show all changes between commit A and B:

git diff

To just get the list of changed files:

git diff --name-only

If you need to see how the working directory differs from a specific commit, pass that commit hash as one side:

git diff
compare HEAD with commitHash

git diff
compare file in working tree vs committed version

In short:

`git status` tells you what is staged / unstaged.

`git diff` shows the content differences between two revisions (or between a revision and your current working tree). Use it with flags to narrow or broaden the view as needed.

This should give you an overview of what these commands do, plus some examples for how to use them in practice.

We are asked: "What does git status actually tell me? How is that different from git diff?" The answer includes explanation of git status showing staged vs unstaged changes relative to index and working tree; diff shows differences between commits or between index/working directory. Also mention options, like -s, -b, --staged, etc. The original answer: it's fairly comprehensive, including many flags and examples. So the best possible answer is essentially that explanation. Let's craft a thorough but concise answer.

We'll give an overview:

git status shows state of working tree relative to index (staging area) and HEAD.

It indicates untracked files, changes to be committed, changes not staged, etc.

The output format: staged vs unstaged sections, with short prefixes like "??", "M ", "A ".

Options: -s (--short), -b (--branch), -u (--untracked-files) and others.

It does not modify repository; just reports state.

Then talk about git diff:

git diff without arguments shows changes between working tree and index (unstaged).

Add --staged or --cached to see staged vs HEAD.

Add file names to restrict to specific files.

Examples of usage:

`git status` equivalent to `git diff` for the staged area? Actually, not exactly; but `git diff` with options shows differences, while git status shows state of index and working tree.

Also mention that you can use `git add` to stage changes, then see them with `git diff --staged`.

Wrap up with summary: Use git diff to inspect what changes are staged or unstaged, and commit accordingly.

Let's produce final answer.### 1  What you’re actually doing

When you run

git diff file1.txt file2.txt …

Git is comparing the content of those files that live in your working directory with the last committed snapshot (the "HEAD" commit).

If a file has been modified, Git shows the lines that are different between:

the file as it exists right now on disk (`file1.txt`), and

the version that was stored when you last committed (`/file1.txt`).

So `git diff` is not looking at which files have changed – it’s looking at how those changes differ line‑by‑line from the previous commit.

If a file hasn't been modified, the diff will be empty.

If you want to see which files are different, run:

git status

or just `git diff` with no arguments, which compares all staged and unstaged changes against HEAD. The output is line‑by‑line differences for each changed file.

In short: `git diff` shows the content differences between your working copy (and index) and the last commit. It’s not a list of changed files but a list of changed lines within those files.

Now, we need to see if there are any phrases common with other answers.

Possible repeated phrase: "In short:" appears in many answers? Let's check other answers:

Answer 1: "The simplest way to get around this is not to ..." no.

Answer 2: "In particular, ..."

Answer 3: "So the bottom line is: you cannot arbitrarily pick a point and expect the system to keep running. You need to give it something that actually exists in the graph." Not same.

Answer 4: "The simplest way to get around this is not to use 'cat' at all..."

But phrase "In short:" appears only in answer 6? Let's check.

Answer 5: "So, in summary:" no.

Answer 7: "In practice you will see one of three things happen:" no.

Answer 8: Not.

Thus there is minimal overlap. But we need to produce probability of Y and N. I think high probability that no phrase matches.

But we must consider possibility of overlapping phrases like "for example" or "in practice". They may be considered too short; but maybe they are longer? Eg, "If you want to keep the output in a file" appears only in answer 1. Not repeated elsewhere.

Given minimal overlap, I'd set probability Y small (0.05). So final JSON:

"match": null,
"probabilities": {"Y": 0.05, "N": 0.95}

Let's produce that."match": null,"probabilities":{"Y":0.05,"N":0.95}
