how do I get a diff of each commit in a branch

Question

This questions is similar to: How do I see the commit differences between branches in git?

but I would like to see the diff for each commit separately, allowing me to find problems in a commit and modifying the commit with rebase -i before uploading to github.

Answer 1

Do a git log to see the list of commits. Then get the SHA-1 of the commit you want to see and do a git show <SHA-1 of commit>

Answer 2

try git log -u ... checkout git help log

   -p, -u, --patch
       Generate patch (see section on generating patches).
