When I run git rm I can see that files were removed in git

  • 0

When I run “git rm” I can see that files were removed in “git status”. However, after a commit when I run “git log –stat” all I see is that a bunch of lines were removed from a file. It’s not easy to infer whether a bunch is equal to all. I tried passing in the option to show renames but it doesn’t also seem to infer removals (one might think of it as a rename to NULL). It looks like “–name-status” will show removed files with “D” but “–stat” will be ignored if both options are passed. How can I get “git log” to show removed files?

    git log --stat --summary

    Will give you the diffstat (lines changed) and also mention creations/deletions at the end.
