Git pre-commit hook : changed/added files
I am writing a pre-commit hook. I want to run php -l against all files with .php extension. However I am stuck. I need to obtain a list of new/changed files that are staged. deleted files should be excluded. I have tried using git diff and git ls-files , but I think I need a hand here. araqnid git diff --cached --name-status will show a summary of what's staged, so you can easily exclude removed files, e.g.: M wt-status.c D wt-status.h This indicates that wt-status.c was modified and wt-status.h was removed in the staging area (index). So, to check only files that weren't removed: steve@arise:
