Given the commit hash of a fix,how could I get the figure out how exactly the code is fixed?

Question

Suppose I have the commit hash of a fix that fixes a bug. I would like to know how exactly the developer changed to code in that fix. What is the git command line for me to get me the info? Should I do something like

git diff <fix-hash> <before-fix-hash>

I an unsure whether this would be the right direction, and I do not see how to get the part Any idea?

You could do

git show <commit hash>

To see what changed in that particular commit that led to the fix. Is this you're asking?

Another way is: git diff ^! – zell Mar 16 '18 at 11:37
