How to generate a diff patch to the .config file?

I am building a kernel and want to add a module at the same time. I have the module code and have staged it in the kernel source and generated a patch:
git diff HEAD > 0001-my-diff.patch

now when I build the kernel, it fails because there is no instruction to build the module. I have added it to the .config file, but the patch does not capture that.

How do I get the edits to .config in the patch?

TIA

Re: How to generate a diff patch to the .config file?

Is the .config tracked - is it listed in `git ls-files`?
