git: diff between file in local repo and origin

Question

I want to find the differences between a file I have in my local repo vs what is in the origin master.

I know that there is git diff, howev

Answer 1

I tried a couple of solution but I thing easy way like this (you are in the local folder):

#!/bin/bash
git fetch

var_local=`cat .git/refs/heads/master`
var_remote=`git log origin/master -1 | head -n1 | cut -d" " -f2`

if [ "$var_remote" = "$var_local" ]; then
    echo "Strings are equal." #1
else
    echo "Strings are not equal." #0 if you want
fi

Then you did compare local git and remote git last commit number....
