I have a bunch of commits in the repo. I want to see a list of files changed between two commits - from SHA1 to SHA2.
What command should I use?
I have a bunch of commits in the repo. I want to see a list of files changed between two commits - from SHA1 to SHA2.
What command should I use?
git diff --name-only SHA1 SHA2
where you only need to include enough of the SHA to identify the commits. You can also do, for example
git diff --name-only HEAD~10 HEAD~5
to see the differences between the tenth latest commit and the fifth latest (or so).
git diff --name-status [SHA1 [SHA2]]
is like --name-only, except you get a simple prefix telling you what happened to the file (modified, deleted, added...)
git log --name-status --oneline [SHA1..SHA2]
is similar, but commits are listed after the commit message, so you can see when a file was changed.
if you're interested in just what happened to certain files/folders you can append -- <filename> [<filename>...]
to the git log
version.
if you want to see what happened for a single commit, call it SHA1, then do
git log --name-status --oneline [SHA1^..SHA1]
File status flags:
M modified - File has been modified
C copy-edit - File has been copied and modified
R rename-edit - File has been renamed and modified
A added - File has been added
D deleted - File has been deleted
U unmerged - File has conflicts after a merge
It seems that no one has mentioned the switch --stat
:
$ git diff --stat HEAD~5 HEAD

But for seeing the files changed between your branch and its common ancestor with another branch (say origin/master):
git diff --name-only `git merge-base origin/master HEAD`
To supplement @artfulrobot's answer, if you want to show changed files between two branches:
git diff --name-status mybranch..myotherbranch
Be careful on precedence. If you place the newer branch first then it would show files as deleted rather than added.
Adding a grep
can refine things further:
git diff --name-status mybranch..myotherbranch | grep "A\t"
That will then show only files added in myotherbranch
.
Add below alias to your ~/.bash_profile
, then run, source ~/.bash_profile
; now anytime you need to see the updated files in the last commit, run, showfiles
from your git repository.
alias showfiles='git show --pretty="format:" --name-only'
This will show the changes in files:
git diff --word-diff SHA1 SHA2
Also note, if you just want to see the changed files between the last commit and the one before it. This works fine: git show --name-only
Use git log --pretty=oneline >C:\filename.log
which will log only a oneline (--pretty=oneline) thats the name of the changed file. Also will log all the details to your output file.
As artfulrobot said in his answer:
git diff --name-status [SHA1 [SHA2]]
My example:
git diff --name-status 78a09k12067c24d8f117886c4723ccf111af4997
4b95d595812211553070046bf2ebd807c0862cca

M webroot/css/theme.css

Just for someone who needs to focus only on Java files, this is my solution:
git diff --name-status SHA1 SHA2 | grep '\.java$'
The following works well for me:
$ git show --name-only --format=tformat: SHA1..SHA2
It can also be used with a single commit:
git show --name-only --format=tformat: SHA1
which is handy for use in Jenkins where you are provided with a List of changeSet SHA's, and want to iterate over them to see which files have been changed.
This is similar to a couple of the answers above, but using tformat:
rather than format:
removes the separator space between commits.
Based on git diff --name-status
I wrote the git-diffview git extension that renders a hierarchical tree view of what changed between two paths.
