Question

git show shows me all the changes made in a revision. However, it prints out all the changes – not just the file names. git show --stat shows me just file names, but it cuts them off! Is there anyway to just get a complete list of the filenames that were changed?

Answer 1

I don’t see why you have to do the grep and the cut as when given in the other answer when git can provide it to you straight ( and you don’t have to depend on the output being same in later versions):

git log --name-only --pretty=format: -1

or

git diff --name-only HEAD HEAD^

You can do the same for any revision / commit that you want.
