Answer 1

There are two ways to do this.

1. providing the SHA of the commit you want to see to git log

git log -p a2c25061

Where -p is short for patch

2. use git show

git show a2c25061

The output for both commands will be:

• the commit
• the author
• the date
• the commit message
• the patch information
