The command "git diff 'HEAD@{select}'" is used to compare the changes between the current state of the working directory and the selected commit in the Git repository.
Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:
-
"git diff": This is the basic Git command used to display the differences or changes between different states of a Git repository.
-
"HEAD@{select}": This is a specific syntax in Git that allows you to reference a previous state of the repository. In this case, it refers to the commit selected for comparison. The "HEAD" refers to the current state of the repository, and the "{select}" specifies a specific commit before the current state.
So, when you run the command "git diff 'HEAD@{select}'", Git will compare the changes between the current working directory state and the commit specified by 'HEAD@{select}'. The differences can include changes in file contents, additions, deletions, or modifications of files, and other modifications in the repository.
