How to see code changes after git pull?

Question

I would like to inspect any code changes after doing a git pull. Currently it\'s just showing me which files changes. How can I see what code changed?

Answer 1

You can compare the pulled contents with the sources of immediately previous commit by,

git diff branch_name@{1}

eg:

git diff master@{1}

For comparing with the sources n commits behind,

git diff branch_name@{n}
