Compares the content and mode of blobs found via two tree objects. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff-tree.

• Compare two tree objects:

git diff-tree tree-ish1 tree-ish2

• Show changes between two specific commits:

git diff-tree -r commit1 commit2

• Display changes in patch format:

git diff-tree -p|--patch tree-ish1 tree-ish2

• Filter changes by a specific path:

git diff-tree tree-ish1 tree-ish2 -- path/to/file_or_directory
