Git - Showing which files have changed between two revisions

Questions

I want to merge two branches that have been separated for a while and wanted to know which files have been modified.

http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html

The tools to compare branches I ve come across are:

• git diff master..branch
• git log master..branch
• git shortlog master..branch

Was wondering if there s something like "git status master..branch" to only see those files that are different between the two branches.

Without creating a new tool, I think this is the closest you can get to do that now (which of course will show repeats if a file was modified more than once):

• git diff master..branch | grep "^diff"

Was wondering if there s something I missed...

Answers

Try

$ git diff --name-status master..branchName

That should do what you need, if I understand you correctly.
