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 information   I have tried   git show a303aa90779efdd2f6b9d90693e2cbbbe4613c1d   Although it lists the files  it also includes unwanted diff information for each   Is there another git command that will provide just the list I want  so that I can avoid parsing it from the git show output

Using standard git diff command  also good for scripting    git diff --name-only  lt sha gt    lt sha gt    If you want also the status of the changed files   git diff --name-status  lt sha gt    lt sha gt    This works well with merge commits

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  lt sha0 gt   lt sha1 gt   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

Recently I needed to list all changed files between two commits  So I used this  also  nix specific  command  git show --pretty  format   --name-only START COMMIT  END COMMIT   sort   uniq   Update  Or as Ethan points out below  git diff --name-only START COMMIT  END COMMIT   Using --name-status will also include the change  added  modified  deleted etc  next to each file   git diff --name-status START COMMIT  END COMMIT
