Here, the best answer is in the code. Searching for 'git-diff' in
leoPy.leo eventually leads to the GitDiffController class, in @file
../commands/editFileCommands.py.
gdc.git_diff does the work. Its signature is:
git_diff(self, directory=None, rev1='HEAD', rev2=''):
So scripts could the directory kwarg, but what does this kwarg mean? The
git_diff method starts with:
if not self.set_directory(directory):
return
Looking at gdc.set_directory, we see that it defaults to os.curdir, that
is, the current working directory.
Finally, looking at gdc.find_git_working_directory, we see that it looks
for a .git directory in the given directory, or all *parent* directories.
In short, there are two possible answers to your question.
1. Set your computer's working directory to a directory containing the
desired .git directory.
2. Write a script (@button node, say), that sets the "directory" kwarg as
desired. Something like this:
import leo.commands.editFileCommands as efc
efc.GitDiffController(c).git_diff(
directory="your desired directory",
)
HTH.
