I need to display only the latest json content like below excluding other unwanted stuffs

{

Solution

  • If you are interested in the content of a file at a specific tag (or commit), you can use git show:

    git show tagname:path/to/file

    git diff shows the difference between two revisions of a file, but you are only interested in one specific version of the file.
