Hi,

I would like to request a feature for `git diff`: to allow the use of
`-` as a shortcut for `@{-1}`. Currently, `git merge` and `git
checkout` both support using `-` as a shortcut for `@{-1}`, and I hope
this functionality can be extended to `git diff` as well.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards

For what it’s worth: a patch to add this for git-branch(1) was rejected in 2022:
