git php diff

Display the git diff of your PHP files using an AST.

Example

If you have have some PHP code like this:

<?php
function myFunction($a, $b, $c, $d, $e, $f) {
}

and if you change it to be like this (you rename a parameter and pass the parameters on multiple lines):

<?php

function myFunction(
$a,
$b,
$c,
$d,
$e,
$g
)
{
}

The git diff command will output something like this (the rename of parameter will not be easily visible because of the others parameters are now on another line) :

Now with git php diff, when you launch the git php-diff command, the ouput will look like this:

You will only see the changes that have a real impact on your code by making the diff on an AST.
