git-diff working-directory

The command that shows the differences between the working directory and the staging area in Git is:

git diff

When you run this command, it will display the changes in your working directory that have not yet been staged. If you specifically want to see the differences between the staging area and the last commit, you can use:

git diff --cached

This command shows the changes that are in the staging area compared to the last commit.
