log & show

= git log =

Show current branch commits:

$ git log

To show only commits of an individual file, run this command:

$ git log -- <file>

To show commits of the particular file with diffs for each change:

$ git log -p -- <file>

Show the entire history of a file (including history beyond renames):

$ git log --follow -p -- <file>

= git show =

show file list changed in given commit:

git show --name-only <sha>

git show --pretty="" --name-only bd61ad98    

= list files in 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).
• The -r argument is to recurse into sub-trees

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

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