git diff.The variable

git diff $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)...HEAD > $DIFFBLUE_PATCH
For a patch containing commits on your branch newer than those on the local copy of
TARGET_BRANCH (e.g. where TARGET_BRANCH is develop)git diff TARGET_BRANCH...HEAD > $DIFFBLUE_PATCH
For a patch containing commits on your branch newer than those on the remote host
TARGET_BRANCH (e.g. where REMOTE is origin and REMOTE/TARGET_BRANCH is origin/develop)git fetch REMOTE
git diff REMOTE/TARGET_BRANCH...HEAD > $DIFFBLUE_PATCH
For a patch containing only currently uncommitted changes
git diff > $DIFFBLUE_PATCH
