try on your machine
The git diff --summary ${commit} command is used to display a summary of changes made between the current state of the repository and a specific commit.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
git diff: This is the git command used to show differences between commits or the working directory and the staging area.--summary: This option is used to display a summary of changes instead of showing the actual differences line by line.${commit}: This is the placeholder for a specific commit ID or reference. You would replace${commit}with the actual commit ID or reference to compare the current state with that specific commit.
The command allows you to quickly see an overview of the changes made in terms of the number of files changed, the number of lines added, and the number of lines deleted between the current state and the specified commit.
