To see the changes made in a specific Git commit, you can use the following methods:
1. Using the Commit Hash
You can view the changes in a specific commit by referencing its unique hash. This will show a detailed diff of what was added, modified, or deleted in that commit.
2. Using a Visual Git Tool
If you use a Git GUI client (e.g., GitHub Desktop, GitKraken, or Sourcetree), you can navigate to the commit history, select a commit, and view the changes in a user-friendly interface.
3. Viewing Logs with Differences
Some commands allow you to see both the commit history and the changes directly in the output, offering a convenient overview.
4. Browsing Commit Changes Online
If the repository is hosted on a platform like GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket, you can view the commit history online. Clicking on a specific commit will display its changes in a web interface.
Each method helps you examine what was changed, why, and when, making it easier to understand the evolution of your code.
