git -> show list of files changed in recent commits in a specific directory
GitGit Problem Overview
In Subversion svn log is the command to display commit log messages -- for details see the online manual at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.log.html
How can I do:
svn log -v -l 10 ./
in git?
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
This one is more similar to the svn command as it shows the file status: Added (A), Copied (C), Deleted (D), Modified (M), Renamed (R), and others.
git log --name-status -10 path/to/dir
It is worth looking at the full documentation page for git log. There you will learn that -10 refers to the past 10 commits, and -p will give you the full patch, among a variety of other goodies.
Solution 2 - Git
To show all files changed in the last 10 commits, without any commit information, do:
git diff --name-only HEAD~10..HEAD yourdir
Solution 3 - Git
Try to do
git log -p -10 yourdir/
It should work.
Solution 4 - Git
To show all the commit of your branch(recent and old), you need to count the number of commits in the branch
git rev-list --count branch_name
Once you get all the commit count, you can run
git log --name-status -countNumber /path
Solution 5 - Git
> git show $commitId$ --name-only
It will result in the files which are changed during this commit
Solution 6 - Git
I've had great luck with this:
$ git reflog --name-status -10 <path/to/folder/of/interest>
Finds things log does not. Pipe output to grep if you know part of a name.
