Thank you. But where do you get the number "0984e27 ", "e56401" from?

They're the hashes for your two commits, as in your question. You can use any unambiguous prefix for commit hashes instead of the whole thing.

Answer 2

+6 A:

git diff --ignore-all-space 0984 e564

-w is shorthand for --ignore-all-space

More important is knowing how I found out:

git help diff

This allowed me to see the various options with explanations.
