Compare Working Directory file with remote repository file

How to compare a local file, in the Working Directory, with an existing file in a remote repository, for example GitHub?

I need to identify changes made to a local file compared to the version in GitHub. I have not yet run the git add command on this file, so it is still in the Working Directory.

Imagine that you are working on the master branch on the remote called origin , it would look like this:

  • Update your master branch with the latest changes in GitHub

    git fetch origin master

  • Do the diff to see what has changed between the files in the working directory and master :

    git diff origin/master
