Using nbdiff to view the changes you made relative to the index/staging area

[aliceoleary0]

Is there a way to use nbdiff in the same way as you might use git diff to view the changes made relative to the index (staging area for the next commit). In other words, the differences are what you could tell Git to further add to the index but you still haven’t (instead of comparing two files)

Can you give an example of git commands you would run?

Normally you should be able to if you use nbdime as a difftool. E.g. configure nbdime, and then use git difftool --tool nbdime <other args you would give to git diff>. Also, nbdiff[-web] does try to support the same kind of args as git diff (at least partially), so I'm curious what your output would be then.

Note: nbdime does not have support for partially staged files. Not sure if git gives difftools partially staged files or not.
