Is there a way to see git diff from origin/master using Visual Studio Code?

From Using Version Control in Visual Studio Code:

Add this to the Git configuration file, like ~/.gitconfig:

[diff]
    tool = vscode
[difftool "vscode"]
    cmd = code --wait --diff $LOCAL $REMOTE

When using git difftool HEAD HEAD^, Git will ask if to use Visual Studio Code.

You can use an extension for this.

Two good options:

Gitlens: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=eamodio.gitlens

With this one, you can use the >GitLens: Open Changes with... action to compare with any branch (local or remote).

You also can use Git History: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=donjayamanne.githistory

You can see the entire file history and compare with the current version with the >Git: View File History action.
