Is there a way to see a diff of the current file in VS Code?

Question

I'm on a branch, and I'd like to see the diff between the currently-open file and the file's main version. I know I can do GitLens: Compare Working Tree with..., but then I have to find the current file in a (potentially-long) list of files. I want one command that just opens the current file's diff.

do you have installed the Git History Extension installed? – Dimitris Papageorgiou Feb 28 '22 at 17:49 — Dimitris Papageorgiou, Feb 28 '22 at 17:49
