Is there a way to see all changed files on a branch in Git?
git
Solution
Supposing you're on branch `foo`, and you're interested in which files have changed since the point when it diverged from `master`, you can just do:
git diff --name-only master...
(Note the three dots.) If you're not `foo`, you can use the full form:
git diff --name-only master...foo
I made some graphics that explain the double-dot and triple-dot notations, and their differences between their meaning in `git rev-list` and `git log` - you can find them in this answer.
Problem
I apologise if this isn't very clear, but in Git, is there a way to see all changed files on a branch, by name only? As far as I know, I can use `git log` to see files that have changed in a single commit, but I want to see all files that have changed since the branch was created, over several commits. There is `git diff`, but this also lists the changed files in the branch I'm comparing to which I don't want to see. I kind of want a command that says 'show me file names for all changed files in this branch'.
