Re: git diff shows twice “\ No newline at end of file” - no need for repetition

Perhaps "this piece of the file" is indeed modified. In your example, the file before the change had a line with ") }}" on it without terminating newline at the end, and this piece of the file is changed to a line with "}}" on it without terminating newline. The first "\ No newline" belongs to (is a part of) the file before the change and annotates something peculiar about that line, and the second "\ No newline" belongs to (is a part of) the file after the change. If the line were complete before your change and you made it incomplete while removing ") ", then the first "\ No newline" would not have been in the output. If you fixed the incomplete line at the end of file by adding a newline at the end while you removing ") ", then the second "\ No newline" would not have been in the output. But in this case, I think you had it incomplete before the change, and you did not fix it and the incompleteness of the line remained after the change, so "diff" should mark both line before and after the change incomplete with "\ No newline" marker.
