How to find the number of files changed from one commit to another in git

Question

I am working on a git repository which contains huge number of files changed b/w one commit to another, how to extract the number of files changes b/w commits.

Answer 1

git show --stat

This gives the list of files changed like this:

1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

Optionally you can add the commit code if you don't want to get the information from the latest.

git show --stat {commit code without brackets}
