True but there's usually a "git diff --staged" in the middle to check what I am committing.

  Exactly!

  You can do that with “git show HEAD” (and “git commit --amend -p”).

    `git diff --staged` is superior. For one, you get all the options to `git diff`. For another, it has no side effects, unlike `git commit --amend -p`.

      > `git diff --staged` is superior. For one, you get all the options to `git diff`. Most of which you can get on git show at least if they're relevant to “what have I added”. And of course you can also use git diff on commits if you need something super specific. > For another, it has no side effects, unlike `git commit --amend -p`. … “git commit --amend -p” is the replacement for subsequent “git add -p”, as the GP was talking about a workfliw where they’d intersperse staging stuff and looking at what they’d staged.
