git diff tag1 tag2  or show log between them    git log tag1  tag2  sometimes it may be convenient to see only the list of files that were changed    git diff tag1 tag2 --stat  and then look at the differences for some particular file    git diff tag1 tag2 -- some file name  A tag is only a reference to the latest commit  on that tag   so that you are doing a diff on the commits between them   Make sure to do git pull --tags first  Also  a good reference  http   learn github com p diff html

For a side-by-side visual representation  I use git difftool with openDiff set to the default viewer    Example usage   git difftool tags  lt FIRST TAG gt  tags  lt SECOND TAG gt    If you are only interested in a specific file  you can use   git difftool tags  lt FIRST TAG gt   lt FILE PATH gt  tags  lt SECOND TAG gt   lt FILE PATH gt    As a side-note  the tags  lt TAG gt s can be replaced with  lt BRANCH gt es if you are interested in diffing branches
