To update remote-tracking branches, you need to type git fetch first and then:
git diff <mainbranch_path> <remotebranch_path>
You can git branch -a to list all branches (local and remote) and then choose the branch name from the list (just remove remotes/ from the remote branch name.
Example: git diff main origin/main (where “main” is the local main branch and “origin/main” is a remote, namely the origin and main branch.)
