Git list of staged files
GitGit DiffGit StatusGit StageGit Problem Overview
I staged a lot of files using git add
, and now I want to see all the files I have staged, without untracked files or changed, but unstaged files.
How do I do that? When using git diff --cached
I can see the changes of what I just staged. So then I tried using git status --cached
, but that --cached
unfortunately doesn't work on git status
.

Solution 1 - Git
The best way to do this is by running the command:
git diff --name-only --cached
When you check the manual you will likely find the following:
--name-only
Show only names of changed files.
And on the example part of the manual:
git diff --cached
Changes between the index and your current HEAD.
Combined together, you get the changes between the index and your current HEAD and Show only names of changed files.
--staged
is also available as an alias for --cached
above in more recent Git versions.
Solution 2 - Git
You can try using git ls-files -s
