I need to be able to see the difference between the current working file and the previous commit as I am editing the file. The only history plugins I can find either use pop-ups (which disappear when I start typing) or a dedicated diff-view which takes up too much space on my small monitor.
I’m on my phone so I can’t really test these out. But this should give you a few methods for printing the list of files changed.
Here’s a similar page to show the changes for a specific file. I expect that
git blamewill be similarly useful.A few others that may help you get started as well:
git —help git rev-parse git log git historythanks so much for your help.
My pleasure. Thanks for posting! And feel free to ask more questions as you tackle this one.
