This video shows the difference between git diff and git diff --cached.

I use git add first_file.txt to tell git that I want to commit that file. It is in what git calls the “staging” area. To show changes to file in the staging area, you must use git diff --cached.

If you want to see how files that are not in the staging area have changed, you use git diff

While this site doesn't provide GIF conversion at the moment, you can still do it yourself with the help of asciinema GIF generator utility - agg.

Once you have it installed, generate a GIF with the following command:

agg https://asciinema.org/a/335053 demo.gif

Or, if you already downloaded the recording file:

agg demo.cast demo.gif

Check agg --help for all available options. You can change font family and size, select color theme, adjust speed and more.

See agg manual for full usage instructions.
