I. CORRECTIONS:

(1) The notation has square brackets for the old version:
[-old-]{+new+}
—I made several typos in the original post.

(2) The incantation is `git diff --word-diff=plain'.

II. NOTES:

(a) There is also --word-diff-regex="." marking differences at single character granularity.

(b) Sometimes I run `git diff' directly from the command line and sometimes from another environment, such as Emacs.
The defaults may vary.

A `git diff` shows *what* changed. A changelog needs to explain *why* it matters. That's the AI sweet spot. Automate the translation. #AIDev #GitDiff
Use Opendiff as default git difftool

Get the diff of files/directories using git difftool.
