Unified diff format terminology

This document outlines terminology surrounding diffs is as per Unified format.

Terminology

See example below:

diff --git a/src/User.php b/src/Person.php
similarity index 93%
rename from src/User.php
rename to src/Person.php
index a86c17c..3d4462c 100644
--- a/src/User.php
+++ b/src/Person.php
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ declare(strict_types=1);
 namespace CodeDiff;


-class User
+class Person
 {

     /**
@@ -20,7 +20,7 @@ class User
     private $isAdmin;

     /**
-     * User constructor.
+     * Person constructor.
      * @param string $name
      * @param bool $isAdmin
      */

The following terminology is used:

• original file refers to the file before the change (in this case src/User.php)
• new file refers to the file after the change (in this case src/Person.php)
• change hunks contains the difference between the 2 files. Change hunks start at the line beginning with @@. In the above example there are 2 change hunks.
• range information is surrounded by @@ and shows the line numbers in old and new files.

NOTE: In most cases files are not renamed so both old file and new file will have the same name, but will be in different states.

Examples

File renamed no other changes

Example diff below shows a file being renamed from Printer.php to Foo.php. File contents remain unchanged.

diff --git a/src/Printer.php b/src/Foo.php
similarity index 100%
rename from src/Printer.php
rename to src/Foo.php

File deleted

Example diff where a file (in this case User.php) is deleted.

diff --git a/src/User.php b/src/User.php
