Why is git diff not showing?
There is no output to git diff because Git doesn’t see any changes inside your repository, only files outside the repository, which it considers ‘untracked’ and so ignores when generating a diff. I found this one of the key differences to version control systems like SVN (along with staging and ignoring directories).
How do I get a list of files that changed between two branches?
You can use gitk.
- Run: $ gitk –all.
- Right click on a commit of a branch and select Mark this commit in the pop-up menu.
- Right click on a commit of another branch and select Diff this -> marked commit or Diff marked commit -> this.
How do I view a diff file?
The git diff command displays the differences between files in two commits or between a commit and your current repository. You can see what text has been added to, removed from, and changed in a file. By default, the git diff command displays any uncommitted changes to your repository.
What does the command git reset soft head perform?
When using git reset –soft HEAD~1 you will remove the last commit from the current branch, but the file changes will stay in your working tree. Also the changes will stay on your index, so following with a git commit will create a commit with the exact same changes as the commit you “removed” before.
How do I find my current branch name?
There are several ways to get the name of the current branch in Git:
- git-branch. We can use the –show-current option of the git-branch command to print the current branch’s name.
- git-rev-parse. Another plausible way of retrieving the name of the current branch is with git-rev-parse.
- git-symbolic-ref.
- git-name-rev.

Can a question be changed without a revision history?
It’s not uncommon for a revision to change a question’s nature to such a degree as to completely invalidate all present answers. Without the revision history, fixing this would be impossible.
What happens when you revise a first draft?
Sometimes it means shifting the order of your paper to help the reader follow your argument, or to change the emphasis of your points. Sometimes it means adding or deleting material for balance or emphasis. And then, sadly, sometimes revision does mean trashing your first draft and starting from scratch.
Why is it important to have a revision history?
I was just wondering why the revision history is important besides the facts that it allows users to see how a question has changed and have edit accountability. I completely agree with having a revision history but I’m just curious if it helps solve other problems that I’m unaware of.
