get_differences

CodeCommit.Client.get_differences(**kwargs)

Returns information about the differences in a valid commit specifier (such as a branch, tag, HEAD, commit ID, or other fully qualified reference). Results can be limited to a specified path.

Request Syntax

response = client.get_differences(
    repositoryName='string',
    beforeCommitSpecifier='string',
    afterCommitSpecifier='string',
    beforePath='string',
    afterPath='string',
    MaxResults=123,
    NextToken='string'
)
Parameters:

  • repositoryName (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The name of the repository where you want to get differences.

  • beforeCommitSpecifier (string) – The branch, tag, HEAD, or other fully qualified reference used to identify a commit (for example, the full commit ID). Optional. If not specified, all changes before the afterCommitSpecifier value are shown. If you do not use beforeCommitSpecifier in your request, consider limiting the results with maxResults.

  • afterCommitSpecifier (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The branch, tag, HEAD, or other fully qualified reference used to identify a commit.

  • beforePath (string) – The file path in which to check for differences. Limits the results to this path. Can also be used to specify the previous name of a directory or folder. If beforePath and afterPath are not specified, differences are shown for all paths.

  • afterPath (string) – The file path in which to check differences. Limits the results to this path. Can also be used to specify the changed name of a directory or folder, if it has changed. If not specified, differences are shown for all paths.

  • MaxResults (integer) – A non-zero, non-negative integer used to limit the number of returned results.

  • NextToken (string) – An enumeration token that, when provided in a request, returns the next batch of the results.
