I have a list of usernames that are in a text file. I update this file and commit it. I am looking for a way to get a list of the changes since the last commit.
I do not want any diff formatting at all, I just want to get an output that has usernames one per line (as they are added to each commit) since the last commit.
I can't find a setting that will remove all the git diff syntax from the output so it's purely a list new lines added only.
# Example
Original file:
user1
user2
user3
I then add
user4
user5
Then commit.
I want to be able to do a git diff and see only:
user4
user5
