# 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.
