title: How to see changes to a file before commit?
body: <p>I have tried <code>git commit -v</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>ubuntu@ip:~/agile$ git commit -v
  # On branch master
  # Changes not staged for commit:
  #   (use "git add &lt;file&gt;..." to update what will be committed)
  #   (use "git checkout -- &lt;file&gt;..." to discard changes in working directory)
  #
  #   modified:   .htaccess
  #
  no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
  ubuntu@ip:~/agile$ 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it is just showing me that <code>.htaccess</code> has changed, but not what has changed. How do I achieve this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong> 
  In Aptana Studio it is possible to see the changes <em>before</em> you commit anything. So back to my question, there must be a way to see the difference to the original state, before you actually commit. Maybe there is a different command for that.</p>
