Git commit changes-How to see the changes in a Git commit?

Question

When I do git diff COMMIT I see the changes between that commit and HEAD (as far as I know), but I would like to see the changes that were made by that single commit.

I haven't found any obvious options on diff / log that will give me that output.

Answer 1

To see the changes between two commits use

git diff COMMIT~ COMMIT

This will show you the changes between its previous commit and this commit. 

For details go through- https://gitirc.eu/git-diff.html

git show COMMIT 

Will show you commit’s data, including diff - but not merge commits.
