How to get a list of all modified files by a user and move the files to a new branch?

Question

I'd like to know how can I get a list of all files that a particular user had edited since it started do commit and push in the repository.

I need to do that because this user should have created a new branch for its modifications but it didn`t do that so I need do find a way to solve this.

:)

It's not a duplicate! this only lists the commits I need a way to see all the files under this commits and a way to move them to a new branch! — vhbsouza, Feb 01 '16 at 12:33

git log --name-only --oneline --author user > changed_files_tmp.txt

For each commit there will be record:

7ac4432 Bug 100 Try to fix
file1
file2
dir/file3

You need to delete lines with commit messages ( I hope you have some pattern in commit messages ) and you have list of files, changed by this user. In this case I assume, that all commits have Bug in commit message and there is no Bug file:

cat changed_files_tmp.txt | grep -v Bug | sort | uniq > changed_files.txt
