# git diff

> Show changes to tracked files.

- Show unstaged, uncommitted changes:

`git diff`

- Show all uncommitted changes (including staged ones):

`git diff HEAD`

- Show only staged (added, but not yet committed) changes:

`git diff --staged`

- Show only names of changed files since a given commit:

`git diff --name-only {{commit}}`

- Output a summary of file creations, renames and mode changes since a given commit:

`git diff --summary {{commit}}`

- Create a patch file:

`git diff > {{target_file}}.patch`

- Compare a single file between two branches or commits:

`git diff {{branch_1}}..{{branch_2}} [--] {{path/to/file}}`
