Show diff between commits

Question

I am using Git on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx).

I have made some commits to my master.

However, I want to get the difference between these commits. All of

Answer 1

To see the difference between two different commits (let's call them a and b), use

git diff a..b

• Note that the difference between a and b is opposite from b and a.

To see the difference between your last commit and not yet committed changes, use

git diff

If you want to be able to come back to the difference later, you can save it in a file.

git diff a..b > ../project.diff
