Question

When I use Git difftool it launches my diff program on each file in sequential fashion, where I have to close the tool and hit the Enter key between each one. Is there a way to have it launch a listing of the changed files where I can then interactively choose which file to launch the diff tool on? I’m used to Windiff which works in this way.

gitk --all is what most people here use to fly around looking at changes introduced by commits and it will also show any changes that you have currently.

EDIT:

Just wanted to add that during an interactive rebase gitk --all HEAD & is a great help. As you go through the rebase, refresh gitk’s view to see what’s going on. While rebasing, adding ‘HEAD’ is needed as otherwise you won’t see the results of your last git rebase --continue.
