# List All Files Changed Between Two Branches
|
||||
|
||||
The `git-diff` command can help with finding all files that have changed
|
||||
between two branches. For instance, if you are at the `HEAD` of your current
|
||||
feature branch and you'd like to see the list of files that have changed
|
||||
since being in sync with the `master` branch, you'd formulate a command like
|
||||
the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
$ git diff --name-only master
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `--name-only` flag is important because it cuts out the rest of the
|
||||
non-essential output.
|
||||
|
||||
You'll want to list the _older_ branch first and the current branch second
|
||||
as a way of showing what has changed from the original branch to get to the
|
||||
current branch.
|
||||
|
||||
Though the example shows the use of _branches_ any git reference can be used
|
||||
to see what has changed between two commits.
|
||||
|
||||
See `man git-diff` for more details.
