diff --git unknown option

Question

when I try to run

diff --git a/drivers/cpufreq/intel_pstate.c b/drivers/cpufreq/intel_pstate.c

I get unknown option (I have installed git via apt-get install git)

Either use

diff -u file1 file2

or

git diff branch/commit1 branch/commit2

I am not aware of any --git option however for diff and the man page doesn't show it.
