Answer 1

Try running this command. It works fine for me:

git diff -U0 Filename | grep -v "diff\|index\|@@\|+++\|\---"

This command is basically removing lines containing "diff" , "index", "---" ,"+++" , "@@" using "grep -v" command and -U0 removes extra lines displayed above and below the modified lines.

Try this for a file with one line change, you will understand it better :)
