To achieve that you will have to fetch objects and references from the remote repository without changing anything locally. Then run the difference between the objects.
First find out the repository name with 'git remote':
$ git remote origin $
When cloning a repository, 'origin' is the default name.
Fetch objects from the repository:
$ git fetch origin remote: Counting objects: 37, done remote: Finding sources: 100% (22/22) remote: Total 22 (delta 13), reused 17 (delta 13) Unpacking objects: 100% (22/22), done. From ssh://to/some/path/there 81e98d4..858cf92 master -> origin/master $
Now that you have all objects from the remote repository, you can locally do a difference using 'git diff'. The syntax being:
git diff <localbranch>..<remote>/<remotebranch> [somefile]
So that would be: git diff master..origin/master
The 'git diff' command supports various options, one of them being word diff so you can probably skip the widff utility.
git diff master..origin/master --word-diff=color
To sum it up:
git fetch origin git diff master..origin/master \ --word-diff=plain \ --color=never \ RELEASE-NOTES-1.20
If your terminal supports color just --word-diff=color
