Git: see changes made in a commit

Because I’m constantly forgetting the syntax for this…

git diff COMMIT^ COMMIT

Is there a shorter or better way to do this? Would love to hear about it in the comments.

If you are pushing a local branch to your remote repo for the first time:

git push -u origin branch_name

If you already have a local branch that relates to the a remote branch, but it isn’t tracking yet:

git branch -u origin/branch_name

*Note: these instructions assume you have the branch in question checked out already.
