How to list all the files in a commit?

Question

I am looking for a simple git command that provides a nicely formatted list of all files that were part of the commit given by a hash (SHA1), with no extraneous

Answer 1

I personally use the combination of --stat and --oneline with the show command:

git show --stat --oneline HEAD
git show --stat --oneline b24f5fb
git show --stat --oneline HEAD^^..HEAD

If you do not like/want the addition/removal stats, you can replace --stat with --name-only

git show --name-only --oneline HEAD
git show --name-only --oneline b24f5fb
git show --name-only --oneline HEAD^^..HEAD

Answer 2

Display the log.

COMMIT can be blank ("") or the sha-1 or the sha-1 shortened.

git log COMMIT -1 --name-only

This will list just the files, very useful for further processing.

git log COMMIT -1 --name-only --pretty=format:"" | grep "[^\s]"

Answer 3

OK, there are couple of ways to show all files in a particular commit...

To reduce the info and show only names of the files which committed, you simply can add --name-only or --name-status flag..., these flags just show you the file names which are different from previous commits as you want...

So you can do git diff followed by --name-only, with two commit hashes after <sha0> <sha1>, something like below:

git diff --name-only 5f12f15 kag9f02 

I also create the below image to show all steps to go through in these situation:

You can also do

git log --name-only

and you can browse through various commits, commit messages and the changed files.

Type q to get your prompt back.

Answer 5

$ git log 88ee8^..88ee8 --name-only --pretty="format:"

Answer 6

I use this to get list of modified files between two changesets:

git diff --name-status <SHA1> <SHA2> | cut -f2
