Diff limits administration (FREE SELF)

You can set a maximum size for display of diff files (patches).

For details about diff files, view changes between files. Read more about the built-in limits for merge requests and diffs.

Maximum diff patch size

Diff files which exceed this value are presented as 'too large' and cannot be expandable. Instead of an expandable view, a link to the blob view is shown.

Patches greater than 10% of this size are automatically collapsed, and a link to expand the diff is presented. This affects merge requests and branch comparison views.

To set the maximum diff patch size:

  1. Go to the Admin Area ({admin}) and select Settings > General.
  2. Expand Diff limits.
  3. Enter a value for Maximum diff patch size, measured in bytes.
  4. Select Save changes.

WARNING: This setting is experimental. An increased maximum increases resource consumption of your instance. Keep this in mind when adjusting the maximum.
