Git diff --stat explanation

Question

Git\'s pull output has been explained here fairly well. In spite of this I\'m still unsure exactly what the text graph relates to.

For example:

git di

Answer 1

git diff --numstat "@{1 day ago}"

Parameters:

• diff = Show diff
• --numstat = show the number of lines inserted and removed
• @{1 day ago} = Period.

Output

0   1   WebContent/WEB-INF/tags/Grid.tag
38  30  ant/build.xml

• Column 1 (containing 0 38) = inserted
• Column 2 (containing 1 30) = removed

PS: Columns are separated by tab (\t).
