### Synopsis

[](#synopsis)

```
composer-diff  []

```

Revisions can be anything you can pass to `git show`, (i.e. a tag, branch or commit hash.)

**start\_revision**: The revision from which the diff starts.

**end\_revision**: (OPTIONAL) The revision to differentiate to. If you omit this option, the `composer.lock` of your current working directory will be used.
