lines that have been removed:

Answer 1

What you want is a diff with 0 lines of context. You can generate this with:

git diff --unified=0

or

git diff -U0

You can also set this as a config option for that repository:

git config diff.context 0

To have it set globally, for any repository:

 git config --global diff.context 0
