Usage

di [<path>...] – diff staged, optionally limited to one or more files or directories

Prior to committing, and also now and then while still working on the code, it is very useful to review what you are about commit, both to ensure that you are about to commit what you think you are about to commit, and in order to write useful commit messages that accurately describe the changes.

di shows the diff for the staged changes against HEAD.

di calls git diff --cached with the optionally provided argument.
