AND we should have pseudo-pointers to the current directory layout and the files already “add”ed (a.k.a. cached/indexed/staged). Git’s UI should allow us to do “diff” or any other command on these. I tried to get the git maintainers to name these (DIR and NEXT?) and make them work with the big commands, but they didn’t see the simplicity of it all. So instead of “git diff DIR NEXT” we get “git diff” and instead of “git diff NEXT HEAD” we get “diff —cached HEAD” which are much less understandable.
