# List Just The Files Involved In A Commit
|
|
|
|
As part of a script I was writing I needed a command that could list out all
|
|
the files involved in a given commit. The `git-show` command (which is
|
|
considered a porcelain command) can do this but isn't ideal for scripting. It
|
|
is recommended to instead use _plumbing_ commands.
|
|
|
|
The `git-diff-tree` command is perfect for listing blobs (files) involved in a
|
|
commit.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r <SHA>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `--no-commit-id` flag suppresses the output of the commit id, because we
|
|
want just the files. The `--name-only` flag tells the command to suppress other
|
|
file info and to only show the file names. The `-r` flag tells the command to
|
|
recurse into subtrees so that you get full pathnames instead of just the
|
|
top-level directory.
|
|
|
|
If you're interested, the `git-show` parallel to this is:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git show --pretty="" --name-only <SHA>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `man git-diff-tree` and `man git-show` for more details on these.
