I would expect git diff to work like git add and others, in being able to do something like
git diff **/models.py
rather than having to do
git diff /full/path/to/my/python/file/called/models.py
It's strange though because
git commit **/models.py
git add **/models.py
both work as you'd expect.

In answer to the original question, git diff isn't showing anything because you have a brand new directory, with a newly added file, but there are zero changes in the file for git diff to show. git status is showing that you added a new file, but git diff is for showing changes within files.
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.
with the path from the repository root to your current directory in the working tree. For example: cd ~/my-git-repo/dir1/dir2 git show abcd123:./Makefile # equivalent to git show abcd123:dir1/dir2/Makefile.
