GitPython equivalent to git diff HEAD

Question

I have:

• 5 modified but unstaged files
• 2 modified and staged files
• thus 7 modified files.

I know the following GitPython equivalents to git commands:

• repo.index.diff(None) gives the same result as git diff - 5 modified but unstaged files
• repo.index.diff('HEAD') surprisingly gives the same result as git diff --staged - 2 modified and staged files

Thus my question is, what is GitPython equivalent to git diff HEAD?

P.S. I can merge results of repo.index.diff(None) and repo.index.diff('HEAD') to get the desired output but it looks quite stupid...

Answer 1

The following worked for me:

repo = git.Repo('path/to/my/repo')
print(repo.git.diff(repo.commit()))

This showed the diff for both staged and unstaged modifications.
