If you put that on your path then you can run
git browser-diffand it should pop your browser open with a two column, colored diff. If you want to send your most recent changes in a pretty email to someone then you would do something likegit browser-diff HEAD~..HEADand copy/paste the HTML.Comes in pretty handy at the workplace where people's attention is limited.
Remember:
sudo apt-get install ruby-bcat colordifffor Ubuntu.
