compare

Lists the files/directories containing changes within a commit range. This function is useful when building a monorepo (monolithic repository) to determine which services have changes.

Shell	Function
Bash	`compare_git [--path \| --resource] [options]`
PowerShell	`compare_git [-path \| -resource] [options]`

path is the file system path to a git repository.
resource is the name of the GitRepo Resource.
commit-range option specifies the range of commits to look for changes (Example: HEAD~1..HEAD).
directories-only option lists only the directories containing changes.
depth option returns file/folder at certain depth. Root directory has depth value 1.
