A puzzling omission from the Git book

Peter Toye· Mar 29, 2019, 12:55 UTC · lore

I'm looking for a way of comparing the files in two branches. According to Stack Overflow there's a git diff command but I can't see any reference to it in the book. Am I being more than usually thick?

The Git Gui app doesn't seem to have that command in it either. A bit frustrating.

 
Yours,

  it should be just

  $ git diff <branch1> <branch2> -- <filename>
