Add support for comparing changes between topic branches and their parent branches, extending the functionality from git-flow-avh's feature-only diff to all topic branch types.

  • Implement the git flow <topic> diff command for showing changes in a topic branch that aren't in the parent branch:
    • git flow feature diff - Compare feature branch to develop
    • git flow release diff - Compare release branch to develop
    • git flow hotfix diff - Compare hotfix branch to master/main
  • The command should:
    1. Determine the appropriate parent branch based on topic type
    2. Show all changes in the topic branch that aren't in the parent branch
    3. Support optional branch name parameter or use current branch if not specified
  • Command syntax: 
    git flow <topic> diff [-h] [<name|nameprefix>]
  • Implement the following options:
    • -h,--help/--no-help - Show help information
    • --showcommands - Display git commands as they are executed
  • Error handling:
    • Check if specified branch exists and is a valid topic branch
    • Handle name prefix matching for partial branch names
  • Add comprehensive documentation for this command
  • Add tests to verify the command works correctly for all branch types

TOWR-28 Add “diff“ command for all branches

git-flow-avh only supports this for feature branches, but it makes sense for all branches that have a parent.

git flow feature diff - Show all changes of the feature branch

Description

Show all changes in <name> that are not in <develop>

Synopsis

git flow feature diff [-h] [<name|nameprefix>]

Options

-h,--[no]help
show this help

--showcommands
Show git commands while executing them
