Compare Changes Between Commits With Git

I’m doing a lot of code reverting today. This is my lifesaver:

  # Compare a previous commit with your working copy
  # git diff PREVIOUS_COMMIT -- path/to/file.rb
  git diff d60a5e5 -- app/controllers/index_controller.rb

I find myself spending more time in the git man pages lately, and learning heaps.
