To compare commits in Git, you can use the git diff
command with the commit hashes or revision references. Here are some examples of how to do it:
git diff <commit_hash1> <commit_hash2>
Replace <commit_hash1>
and <commit_hash2>
with the actual commit hashes you want to compare. This will show the differences between the two specified commits.
git diff HEAD <commit_hash>
Replace <commit_hash>
with the commit hash you want to compare with the latest commit (HEAD). This will show the differences between the current code and the specified commit.
git diff <commit_hash>
Replace <commit_hash>
with the commit hash you want to compare with the current working directory. This will show the differences between the current working directory and the specified commit.
Remember to use the full commit hash or revision reference to identify the commits accurately. After running the git diff
command, Git will display the differences between the two commits in the command-line interface.
To compare the last commit with the current code in Git, you can use the following command:
git diff HEAD
This command will show the differences between the last commit and the current working directory, allowing you to see what changes have been made. If you want to compare specific files, you can also specify them in the command. For example:
git diff HEAD path/to/file
Keep in mind that this command only shows the differences between the last commit and the current state of the working directory. If there are uncommitted changes, they will also be included in the diff.
NOTE that you can just use
git diff
and it will show you the same thing
