git diff not showing all changes

Question

I'm almost embarrassed to ask but when I run git diff on a specific file, it only shows the changes on the first 26 lines or so.

Is there a page down command that will show the rest of the changes?

The git diff command by default pipes its output through less. Press the space bar. The h command shows a help screen.

pgdn should cause the screen to scroll down as well.
