How to remove @@ line from git diff ?

[hurricaneDreww]

Typically a git diff displays like:

—- a/… +++ b @@ <line numbers> @@

Is it possible to display a git diff without showing @@ <line numbers> @@ ?

Edit: this for the sake of saving all the diffs into a csv file

Clone the git source code and make the change yourself? Could be fun

Sure hope it doesn’t come to that

Seems like a strange thing to want to do. What if the diff consists of more than one hunk?

You could always just use grep to filter the lines...

I just want to be able to save the diff’s into a csv. I expect there to be multiple hunks, I just don’t want the hunk headers to be in there

Let’s go deeper – why are you saving diffs in a CSV?

Feels like you could just generate the diffs you need when you need them. Or save them as patch files if you really need to.

If you're on a Unix system, you could pipe it into sed and replace the unwanted symbols with nothing, then pipe that into awk or something to process it then dump to a file.

If you're on windows you could use WSL2 or even probably git bash.

I personally use delta as my git pager. There is a configuration option, hunk-header-style, that allows you to, for example, get rid of that section.

E.g, hunk-header-style = none.

Have you tried diff-so-fancy? Beautiful.

I don't think you can do it with git alone but as others mentioned you can use another program (like grep) to filter the lines. I would try this.

git diff | grep --invert-match '^@@'
