How to show changed file name only with git log?

Thanks for your answers, @mvp, @xero, I get what I want base on both of your answers.

git log --name-only

or 

git log --name-only --oneline

for short.


i guess your could use the --name-only flag. something like:

git log 73167b96 --pretty="format:" --name-only

i personally use git show for viewing files changed in a commit

git show --pretty="format:" --name-only 73167b96

(73167b96 could be any commit/tag name)


I stumbled in here looking for a similar answer without the "git log" restriction. The answers here didn't give me what I needed but this did so I'll add it in case others find it useful:

git diff --name-only

You can also couple this with standard commit pointers to see what has changed since a particular commit:

git diff --name-only HEAD~3
git diff --name-only develop
git diff --name-only 5890e37..ebbf4c0

This succinctly provides file names only which is great for scripting. For example:

git diff --name-only develop | while read changed_file; do echo "This changed from the develop version: $changed_file"; done

#OR

git diff --name-only develop | xargs tar cvf changes.tar
