May I list the files of the current commit?

Question

Imagine that everytime I commit files, before I push them, I\'d like to list them to check. How may I do that ?

I tried:

git ls-tree -r --name-only m

Git diff to the rescue on this one. You'll use the --name-only flag. To get the contents of the current commit, use this command:

#before stage
  git diff --name-only 
#staged changes before committing
  git diff --name-only --cached
#after committing
  git diff --name-only HEAD^ HEAD

If you want to see the files that you will be pushing if there is more than one commit, you'll need to specify your current branch head and the head on the remote

git diff --name-only remote/branch branch
