Git - print changes between specific commits (print changed lines using git-diff)

In this short article, we would like to show how to print changes between specific commits.

Quick solution:

git diff COMMIT-1-HASH..COMMIT-2-HASH

# e.g.  git diff f44a5df0..e259699e

Hint: use git log --oneline command to see commits.

Practical example

Let's suppose we get commit list using git log --oneline:

...
a56a9bdb created index.html
b956daab added better styles for the site header
3d658ac3 added better styles for the site footer
706d93a0 created home page
e2091d8b created contact page
f44a5df0 created about page
e259699e fixed title in the index.html
538a3d6c added better styles for the site content
...

Let's suppose we want to check changes between commmits: f44a5df0 and e259699e:

$ git diff f44a5df0..e259699e

Example output:

As we can see there are only some changes related to title update.
