You can use git difftool
to show a single commit.
Say you want to see the commit with the sha1 abc123
:
git difftool abc123~1 abc123
(~1
tells git to move to the previous commit, so abc123~1
is the commit before abc123
)
If you use this regularly, you could make a custom git command to make it easier:
Create a file called
git-showtool
somewhere on your$PATH
with the following contents:git difftool $1~1 $1
Give that file execute permissions:
chmod +x ~/path/to/git-showtool
Use the command
git showtool <sha1 or tag or ...>
- Profit.
