git diff --cached

--cached means show the changes in the cache/index (i.e. staged changes) against the current HEAD. --staged is a synonym for --cached.

--staged and --cached does not point to HEAD, just difference with respect to HEAD. If you cherry pick what to commit using git add --patch (or git add -p), --staged will return what is staged.

You could probably use git diff like this:

git diff origin/master..HEAD

assuming that your HEAD is currently pointing to your latest commit. Otherwise, you could just use

git diff origin/master..master

(Of course, change accordingly if your remote isn't origin, or if your branch isn't master.)
