+## How do I include the git history in the context?
+
+When starting a fresh aider session, you can include recent git history in the chat context. This can be useful for providing the LLM with information about recent changes. To do this:
+
+1. Use the `/run` command with `git diff` to show recent changes:
+   ```
+   /run git diff HEAD~1
+   ```
+   This will include the diff of the last commit in the chat history.
+
+2. To include diffs from multiple commits, increase the number after the tilde:
+   ```
+   /run git diff HEAD~3
+   ```
+   This will show changes from the last three commits.
+
+Remember, the chat history already includes recent changes made during the current session, so this tip is most useful when starting a new aider session and you want to provide context about recent work.
