Use --diff to print the diff and exit.

$ copilot svc deploy --diff

    ~ TaskDefinition:
        ~ Properties:
            ~ ContainerDefinitions:
                ~ - (changed item)
                  ~ Environment:
                      (4 unchanged items)
                      + - Name: LOG_LEVEL
                      +   Value: "info"
