Can i see the changes made in the files just `git add`'ed?

Question

When i do some work in working directory, i can use git diff to see what changes I have made.

Now i just ran git add for the files newly modified and created but not yet git commit , git diff doesn't show any thing. Is it still possible to see what changes have been made which were just git add 'ed?

Thanks.

Use git diff --staged to look at the diff for staged files. git diff only looks at unstaged files by default.
