I use this on a daily basis to show history with files that changed   git log --stat --pretty short --graph   To keep it short  add an alias in your  gitconfig by doing   git config --global alias ls  log --stat --pretty short --graph

If you want to get the file names only without the rest of the commit message you can use   git log --name-only --pretty format   lt branch name gt    This can then be extended to use the various options that contain the file name   git log --name-status --pretty format   lt branch name gt   git log --stat --pretty format   lt branch name gt    One thing to note when using this method is that there are some blank lines in the output that will have to be ignored  Using this can be useful if you d like to see the files that have been changed on a local branch  but is not yet pushed to a remote branch and there is no guarantee the latest from the remote has already been pulled in  For example   git log --name-only --pretty format  my local branch --not origin master   Would show all the files that have been changed on the local branch  but not yet merged to the master branch on the remote

git show is also a great command   It s kind of like svn diff  but you can pass it a commit guid and see that diff

git diff --stat HEAD   shows changed files and added removed line counts for the last commit  HEAD    It seems to me that there is no single command to get concise output consisting only of filenames and added and removed line counts for several commits at once  so I created my own bash script for that      bin bash for   i 0  i lt   1  i     do     sha1  git log -1 --skip  i --pretty format  H      echo  HEAD  i  sha1      git diff --stat HEAD     i 1   HEAD  i  done   To be called eg    changed files 99 to get the changes in a concise form from HEAD to HEAD 99  Can be piped eg  to less

I find the following is the ideal display for listing what files changed per commit in a concise format    git log --pretty oneline --graph --name-status

User · Answer

I generally use these to get the logs      git log --name-status --author   lt Name of author gt   --grep   lt text from Commit message gt      git log --name-status --grep   lt text from Commit message gt

NOTE  git whatchanged is deprecated  use git log instead     New users are encouraged to use   git-log 1  instead  The   whatchanged command is essentially the same as   git-log 1  but defaults to show   the raw format diff output and to skip merges       The command is kept primarily for historical reasons  fingers of many   people who learned Git long before git log was invented by reading   Linux kernel mailing list are trained to type it      You can use the command git whatchanged --stat to get a list of files that changed in each commit  along with the commit message    References   https   git-scm com docs git-whatchanged

User · Answer

Another useful command would be git diff-tree  lt hash gt  where hash can be also a hash range  denoted by  lt old gt    lt new gt notation   An output example     git diff-tree  HEAD  040000 040000 8e09a be406 M myfile   The fields are   source mode  dest mode  source hash  dest hash  status  filename  Statuses are the ones you would expect  D  deleted   A  added   M  modified  etc  See man page for full description

User · Answer

For full path names of changed files   git log --name-only   For full path names and status of changed files   git log --name-status   For abbreviated pathnames and a diffstat of changed files   git log --stat   There s a lot more options  check out the docs
