How can I list all the deleted files in a Git repository?

Question

I know Git stores information of when files get deleted and I am able to check individual commits to see which files have been removed, but is there a command that would gen

Answer 1

Since Windows doesn't have a grep command, this worked for me in PowerShell:

git log --find-renames --diff-filter=D --summary | Select-String -Pattern "delete mode" | sort -u > deletions.txt

Answer 2

Citing this Stack Overflow answer.

It is a pretty neat way to get type-of-change (A:Added, M:Modified, D:Deleted) for each file that got changed.

git diff --name-status

Answer 3

Show all deleted files in some_branch

git diff origin/master...origin/some_branch --name-status | grep ^D

or

git diff origin/master...origin/some_branch --name-status --diff-filter=D 

Answer 4

If you're only interested in seeing the currently deleted files, you can use this:

git ls-files --deleted

if you then want to remove them (in case you deleted them not using "git rm") pipe that result to xargs git rm

git ls-files --deleted | xargs git rm

Answer 5

git log --diff-filter=D --summary

See Find and restore a deleted file in a Git repository

If you don't want all the information about which commit they were removed in, you can just add a grep delete in there.

git log --diff-filter=D --summary | grep delete

Answer 6

This does what you want, I think:

git log --all --pretty=format: --name-only --diff-filter=D | sort -u

... which I've just taken more-or-less directly from this other answer.
