show diff of current buffer

[Sam Halliday]

Hi all,

Apologies, I created an RFE / question on the issue tracker before realising this mailing list existed: https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/1350

I'm really enjoying using magit and to improve productivity even further, I'd like to be able to turn on a mode that lets me see which lines in the current file have uncommitted additions/modifications/removals with the ability to each difference on a line-by-line basis (e.g. some keystroke that brings that line or contiguous block back to HEAD).

Can somebody please help me to get this set up? (Assuming it is available as a feature)

Best regards,
Sam

I this magit should be able to show diff of select region or current buffer.

There is vcs-mode for interacting with different vcs from inside a
file. Try C-x v C-h to have an idea of what is available, and the
"Introduction to VC" node of the Emacs info to find more on this.

Actually I some time use C-x v = to have ediff compare the working copy
version of the current file with head (it can do more than that) and
then I can use it to revert part of what was done.

I checked out vc- prefixed commands, no command for show region, If I want to show a diff for current region, I need to modify the git command. vc is just a simple union API, but not good for a little more completed git task.
