Here is a solution that is working well for me. I’ve written up the solution and some additional missing documentation on the git (log|diff) -G<regex> option. It is basically using the same solution as in previous answers, but specifically for comments that start with a * or a #, and sometimes a space before the … Read more
git diff –stat will show you the output you get when committing stuff which is the one you are referring to I guess. git diff –stat For showing exactly the line numbers that has been changed you can use git blame -p <file> | grep “Not Committed Yet” And the line changed will be the … Read more

Use git show $COMMIT. It’ll show you the log message for the commit, and the diff of that particular commit.
You’re in the less program, which makes the output of git log scrollable. Type q to exit this screen. Type h to get help. If you don’t want to read the output in a pager and want it to be just printed to the terminal define the environment variable GIT_PAGER to cat or set core.pager … Read more
You can use the DiffFormatter to get a list of DiffEntrys. Each entry has a changeType that specifies whether a file was added, removed or changed. An Entrys’ getOldPath() and getNewPath() methods return the path name. The JavaDoc lists what each method retuns for a given change type. ObjectReader reader = git.getRepository().newObjectReader(); CanonicalTreeParser oldTreeIter = … Read more

First, you must control the definition of “whitespace” that Git is currently using. git config core.whitespace ‘-trailing-space,-indent-with-non-tab,-tab-in-indent’ Next, you must control the definition of a word used. Instead of just using git diff -w, add –word-diff-regex='[^[:space:]]’: git diff -w … Read more
