How do I list all the files in a commit?

Preferred Way (because it's a plumbing command; meant to be programmatic):

$ git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r bd61ad98
index.html
javascript/application.js
javascript/ie6.js

Another Way (less preferred for scripts, because it's a porcelain command; meant to be user-facing)

$ git show --pretty="" --name-only bd61ad98    
index.html
javascript/application.js
javascript/ie6.js

• The --no-commit-id suppresses the commit ID output.
• The --pretty argument specifies an empty format string to avoid the cruft at the beginning.
• The --name-only argument shows only the file names that were affected (Thanks Hank). Use --name-status instead, if you want to see what happened to each file (Deleted, Modified, Added)
• The -r argument is to recurse into sub-trees

If you want to get the list of changed files:

git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r <commit-ish>

If you want to get the list of all files in a commit, you can use

git ls-tree --name-only -r <commit-ish>

I'll just assume that gitk is not desired for this. In that case, try git show --name-only <sha>.

Use

git log --name-status

This will show you the commit id, message, the files changed and whether it was modified, created, added, or deleted. Somewhat of an all-in-one command.

Try this command for name and changes number of lines

git show --stat <commit-hash>

Only show file names

git show --stat --name-only  <commit-hash>

For getting the last commit hash, try this command:

git log -1

Last commit with show files name and file status modify, create, or delete:

 git log -1 --oneline --name-status <commit-hash>

Or for all

git log

To list the files changed on a particular commit:

git show --pretty=%gd --stat <commit_id>

To list the files changed on recent commit:

git show --pretty=%gd --stat

$ git log 88ee8^..88ee8 --name-only --pretty="format:"

Use a simple one-line command, if you just want the list of files changed in the last commit:

git diff HEAD~1 --name-only

I use this to get the list of changed files in a merge commit

λ git log -m -1 --name-only --pretty="format:"
configs/anotherconfig.xml
configs/configsInRepo.xml

or

λ git log -m -1 --name-status --pretty="format:"
A       configs/anotherconfig.xml
M       configs/configsInRepo.xml

I like this:

git diff --name-status <SHA1> <SHA1>^

Only the file list (not even commit message):

git show --name-only --pretty=format:

E.g. open all changed files in your editor:

git show --name-only --pretty=format: | xargs "$EDITOR"

git show --name-only a303aa90779efdd2f6b9d90693e2cbbbe4613c1d

A combination of "git show --stat" (thanks Ryan) and a couple of sed commands should trim the data down for you:

git show --stat <SHA1> | sed -n "/ [\w]\*|/p" | sed "s/|.\*$//"

That will produce just the list of modified files.

List all files in a commit tree:

git ls-tree --name-only --full-tree a21e610
