getting the changes in a unstaged file

When I run this command:

$ git status

Here is the result:

/* red color - I haven't added them yet */
modified:   inaccessible/dbh_conn.php
modified:   myweb/.idea/workspace.xml
modified:   myweb/application/search.php

Now I need to see the changes in search.php file. How can I see that? I guess I should use $ git diff command. But apparently it has a limited result and the changes in workspace.xml are too much, so I cannot see the changes in other files after that.

Anyway, how can I say to git, show me only the changes in a specific file?

Solution

I think you're looking for the git diff myweb/application/search.php command.
