git: Why doesn't git diff show any differences?

Question

If I run \'git status\' on my repo it gives:

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use \"git reset HEAD ...\" to unstage)
#
#   modified         


        

Answer 1

Your file is already staged to be committed. You can show it's diff using the --cached option of git.

git diff --cached myfile

To unstage it, just do what git status suggests in it's output ;)

You can check The Git Index For more info.
