Question

Is there a way to view the diff’s of my current working state with the last previous commit, so I can compare the difference first before doing a commit. I want to see it in a very easy visual state. Just like seeing a commit in github, where you basically just see all the differences. Any idea on how to do this easily?

Answer 1

Sure, you can do one of the following. Before doing git add:

git diff

or after git add:

git diff --cached
