💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --unstaged shows changes not yet staged.

Using --all shows all changes including unstaged.

Using --branch is unrelated to diff.

The git diff --cached command shows the differences between the staged changes and the last commit.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --reset resets changes, not shows diff.

Using --commit is for commits, not diff.

Using --patch shows patch format but not specifically staged.

--staged is an alternative to --cached to show staged changes.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --stage causes an error.

Using --staging is not a valid git diff option.

The correct option is --cached. --stage is invalid (--staged is a valid alternative).

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a command that shows staged changes for a specific file.

Git

git diff [1] [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A--cached

B--staged

CREADME.md

Dmain.py

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using unstaged options shows wrong changes.

Using wrong file names or missing file name shows all files.

Use git diff --cached README.md to see staged changes for the file README.md.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a command that shows staged changes with word diff for a file.

Git

git diff [1] --word-diff [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A--cached

Bmain.py

C--staged

DREADME.md

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using --staged instead of --cached may work but here only --cached is correct.

Mixing file names or missing file name shows all files.

The command git diff --cached --word-diff main.py shows staged changes with word-level differences for main.py.
