Is there a way to check the difference between the working directory in my current branch against the working directory of another branch in a specific file? For example, if I'm working in branch A on file 1, I want to compare the difference with file 1 on branch B.

To see the changes between two commits, you can use git diff ID1.. ID2 , where ID1 and ID2 identify the two commits you're interested in, and the connector .. is a pair of dots. For example, git diff abc123.. def456 shows the differences between the commits abc123 and def456 , while git diff HEAD~1..
The git diff command returns a list of all the changes in all the files between our last commit and our current repository. If you want to retrieve the changes made to a specific file in a repository, you can specify that file as a third parameter.
You can have many branches in your repository, but only one of these will be "checked out" as the working-tree so that you can work on it and make changes. git worktree adds the concept of additional working trees. This means you can have two (or more) branches checked-out at once.
Use the git diff branch branch filename syntax:
git diff branchA branchB -- file.cs put the two names of your branches and optionally use the -- filename option to specify one file! Good luck, let me know if you have issues.
