how to get source code for commands like diff or cat

Hi all

I'm learning c programming and i'd like to read some code for the basic commands on the linux system

I remember apt has one such option that allows getting pakcage source code
is there a similar one for pacman ?

or do i have to search those source code myself ?

and also in BSD system all the codes are availeble in a code repository

thx

diff and cat. Or was that too literal?
