diff is for checking differences between commits, files, and directory trees .

git diff : Displays all the differences between your local copy and the synchronized index;
git diff –cached : Displays all the differences between the synchronized index and the last commit ;
git diff HEAD : Displays all the differences between your local copy and the last commit committed;
