First, make sure you have git installed.
You want to clone the repository using the public "Read-Only" git URL like this:
git clone git://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example.git
That will create a authlogic_example directory and checkout the master
branch. Change into it and run `git diff' as follows:
cd authlogic_example
git diff with-openid
See `man git-diff' for a whole bunch of additional options.
I'll also note that GitHub has a top secret "Comparison View" that
shows diffs between two branches:
http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic_example/compare/master...with-openid
Hope this helps.
