Crate uasset_lens_git_diff 

uasset-lens-git-diff

Diff Unreal Engine 5 assets between Git HEAD and the working tree.

Compares an asset’s committed version (via git show HEAD:<path>) against the copy on disk and reports the semantic delta: dependencies added/removed, asset-type changes, and Blueprint metric shifts. Lets CI comment on what actually changed inside a .uasset in a pull request.

Part of uasset-lens — a fast, CLI-first static analyzer for Unreal Engine 5 assets that runs without opening the editor. This crate provides HEAD-vs-disk asset diffing. Depends on: uasset-lens-shared. Used by: the uasset-lens CLI.

Usage

use std::path::Path;
use uasset_lens_git_diff::diff_asset;
use uasset_lens_shared::AssetPath;

let asset = AssetPath::new("/Game/Characters/BP_Player")?;
let project_dir = Path::new("MyProject");
let content_root = Path::new("MyProject/Content");

if let Some(diff) = diff_asset(&asset, project_dir, content_root)? {
    println!(
        "+{} deps, -{} deps",
        diff.deps_added.len(),
        diff.deps_removed.len(),
    );
}
