@raacz106 oh also if you stage your changes then git diff by default shows you changes you've made compared to the staged versions not the committed versions

so like if i had a file in the latest commit that goes "abc" and i change it completely to "xyz", i can stage that

then as i'm working, maybe i change it to "xyzw", and git diff will show "xyz" <=> "xyzw" instead of "abc" <=> "xyzw"

you can still compare to latest commit by doing git diff HEAD ("HEAD" is a magic git word that means 'the last commit'. if you do HEAD~3 that means 3 commits before the last commit)
