Git Diff Returns Binary Files Differ but no actual lines

I'm doing:

git diff HEAD -- myfle.txt

and getting back:

git diff --git a/myfile.txt b/myfile.txt index .... Binary Files a/myfile.txt b/myfile.txt Differ

"Binary Files Differ" .. but no print-out of the actual lines changed. What Am I doing wrong?

I'm also trying this between branches (i.e. git diff DEV QA -- myfile.txt) same result.

Change the encoding of your file to UTF-8. If you still don't see the diff then stage the file with git add myfle.txt, edit the file and do git diff again
