git compare two commits-How to see the changes between two commits without commits in-between?

Question

How do you make git diff only show the difference between two commits, excluding the other commits in-between?

Answer 1

Just pass the below commands to see the diff between two commands without having the commits in between

git diff <commit_id1> <commit_id2> > <name>

git apply <name>

This will show you the difference but without the commits in between

For example: 

git diff 0da94be  59ff30c > my.patch

git apply my.patch

Answer 2

Use can use the following:

git diff <a-commit> <another-commit> path

Example:

git diff commit1 commit2 config/routes.rb

It will show the difference between that file between those commits.
