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 use this to get list of changed files in merge commit

λ git log -m -1 --name-only --pretty="format:"
configs/anotherconfig.xml
configs/configsInRepo.xml

or

λ git log -m -1 --name-status --pretty="format:"
A       configs/anotherconfig.xml
M       configs/configsInRepo.xml

Answer 2

Simplest form:

git show --stat (hash)

That's easier to remember and it will give you all the information you need.

If you really want only the names of the files you could add the --name-only option.

git show --stat --name-only (hash)

Answer 3

Found a perfect answer to this:

git show --name-status --oneline <commit-hash>

So that I can know

which files were just modified M

Which files were newly added , A

Which files were deleted , D

Answer 4

I thought I would share a summary of my alias.. also I find using 'zsh' great with git it chroma keys everything nicely and tells you want branch are in all of the time by changing the command prompt.

For those covering from SVN you will find this useful: (this is a combination of ideas from different threads, I only take credit of knowing how to use copy/paste)

Answer 5

Use

git log --name-status

This will show you the commit id, message, the files changed and whether it was modified, created, added or deleted. Somewhat of a all-in-one command.

Answer 6

Use simple one line command, if you just want the list of files changed in the last commit:

git diff HEAD~1 --name-only
