Easiest Way to Compare 2 Xcode Projects Using Git

Question

At some point in time my project was perfectly working and commit was made. After several days a change happened and suddenly it stopped to work. How can I use git to compare the changes between to commits?

Thanks!

Use `git bisect`: https://www.metaltoad.com/blog/beginners-guide-git-bisect-process-elimination — Tim Biegeleisen, Feb 11 '18 at 05:48
Basically, you can sift through your history and narrow it down to the exact commit which introduced the bug. — Tim Biegeleisen, Feb 11 '18 at 05:49

Do git log and find the approximate date you think the project was working fine.
Find the SHA of the commits around that date and find their diff by doing:
```
git diff <SHA of commit1> <SHA of commit2>
```

To compare the changes in a specific filename do:

git diff <SHA of commit1> <SHA of commit2> /path/to/filename/in/repo
