Sometimes when I'm about to make a commit, I can't recall exactly what has changed since the last commit. How can I see a diff of the current state of the code and the last commit?

If you haven't added any files to the index yet (with git add), simply do
git diff
This will show the diff between your working tree and index.
If you have added files to the index, you need to do this to show the differences between index and the last commit (HEAD).
git diff --cached
Finally, if you want to see the changes made in the working tree compared to the latest commit (HEAD) you can (as Carlos points out) do
git diff HEAD
Those changes are the combination of git diff and git diff --cached.
