SKILL.md
VS Code CLI Tools
Tools for integrating with VS Code, primarily for viewing diffs.
Requirements
VS Code must be installed with the code CLI available in PATH.
Opening a Diff
Compare two files side by side in VS Code:
code -d <file1> <file2>
Git Diffs in VS Code
Simple Approach (no config needed)
Extract the old version to a temp file, then diff:
# Compare with previous commit
git show HEAD~1:path/to/file > /tmp/old && code -d /tmp/old path/to/file
# Compare with specific commit
git show abc123:path/to/file > /tmp/old && code -d /tmp/old path/to/file
# Compare staged version with working tree
git show :path/to/file > /tmp/staged && code -d /tmp/staged path/to/file
Gotchas
- File must exist and have changes between the compared revisions
- Use
git log --oneline -5 -- path/to/fileto verify file has history before diffing
When to Use
- Showing the user what changed in a file
- Comparing two versions of code
- Reviewing git changes visually
