Qua K (13●2) | asked Mar 06 '21, 6:37 a.m.  I lost a lot of time just to figure out  how to get a diff of a changeset  (like in git we have "git show <commit id>") . "lsc help diff" gives me this: >lscm help diff  Help for: lscm diff Purpose:    Compares two states of a file or set of files and displays the differences   between them. Comparing files: When you select a file, the version of the   file on disk is used as the after state. By default the before state is the   before state of the most recent change. Comparing change sets: When you   select a change set, by default all changes made in that change-set will be   displayed. Comparing workspaces or streams: When you select a workspace or   stream, the default before state is the selected workspace's or stream's   current collaboration. Comparing snapshots: When you select a snapshot, the   default "before" state is the workspace or stream that is associated with the   snapshot. Comparing baselines: When you select a baseline, the default   "before" state is the previous baseline in the history. Usage: lscm diff [-r/--repository-uri <arg>] [-u/--username <arg> -P/--password                  <arg> | -u/--username <arg> --password-file <arg> |                  --certificate <arg> -P/--password <arg> | --smartCard                  -u/--username <arg> | --kerberos | --integratedWindows]                  [-d/--directory <arg>] [-N/--no-local-refresh]                  [-w/--workspace <arg>] [-c/--component <arg>]                  [[-x/--xcompare] [-S/--show <arg>] | [-p/--fullpatch]]                  <after-type> <after-selector> [before-type] [before-selector]                  [-m/--maximum <arg>] [-f/--file <arg ...>]   after-type      - Type of the item to use for the after state (file,                     workspace, stream, baseline, change set, snapshot).   after-selector  - Selector of the item to use for the after state (path of                     the the file on disk, name[@repo], alias or UUID[@repo]).   before-type     - Type of the item to use for the before state (workspace,                     stream, baseline, change set, snapshot).   before-selector - Selector of the item to use for the before state                     (name[@repo], alias or UUID[@repo]). Options:   -r, --repository-uri <arg>  - The URI that specifies the location of the                                 repository.   -u, --username <arg>        - The user name for the repository.   -P, --password <arg>        - The password for the repository.        --password-file <arg>   - File that contains the user's password.       --certificate <arg>     - The file that contains the user's login                                 certificate.       --smartCard             - Use the connected smart card for                                 authentication.       --kerberos              - Authenticate with Windows user credentials                                 using Kerberos/SPNeGO.       --integratedWindows     - Authenticate with Windows user credentials                                 using Integrated Windows Authentication.   -d, --directory <arg>       - Specifies the root of the shared file system.   -N, --no-local-refresh      - Does not scan the file system for new changes.                                 This option overrides the value of the                                 'refresh.local.changes' preference. To see the                                 current value of this preference, run 'lscm                                 get preference refresh.local.changes'.   -w, --workspace <arg>       - The workspace that contains the change set. To                                 specify the workspace, use its name[@repo],                                 alias, or UUID[@repo].   -c, --component <arg>       - The component to select when you compare                                 workspaces, streams, snapshots, or baselines.                                 The component is identified by a name, alias,                                 or UUID. This option is required when you                                 specify a baseline by name; otherwise, this                                 option is optional.   -x, --xcompare              - Opens an external compare tool that is                                 configured in the preferences. This option                                 only applies when the type is file and the                                 tool will only show content differences.   -S, --show <arg>            - Indicates whether to display the differences in                                 content, properties, or both. Use "c" for                                 content, "p" for properties or "cp" for both.                                 By default, differences in content is shown.   -p, --fullpatch             - Produces a full Jazz patch.   -m, --maximum <arg>         - The maximum number of change sets that can be                                 returned. The number must be greater than 0.                                 If you omit this option, 512 is used by                                 default. If you specify "all"/"-" then the                                 entire difference is displayed.   -f, --file <arg ...>        - Show the differences for a set of files within                                 the specified before or after selector.                                 Specify the alias, UUID or path of the files. The documentation around "selector"  above is very poor and does not specify the exact values (variants) to be passed.
