Pragmatic Version Control Using Git

6.3 Looking at Differences Between Versions

In Section 4.3, ​Seeing What Has Changed​, you learned how to use git diff to look at the differences between your working copy and the repository. You can also use it to view the history within the repository:

prompt> git diff 18f822e



diff --git a/contact.html b/contact.html



index 64135cb..63617c2 100644



--- a/contact.html



+++ b/contact.html
