As of now, this command is working for me. `git log --pretty=tformat:"%H" ` Any other solution? — Shikhar, Oct 27 '19 at 10:44
So how's the solution in the duplicated question not working for you? If it works for you, why other solution? — Adrian Shum, Oct 28 '19 at 02:12

You can use two commands for this. First, show the commits on that folder, then show changes according to any commit shown by the first command.

git log --follow $YOUR_FOLDER
git show -p $COMMIT_ID

If you really want it in a one liner you can do this:

# Find the commit of the folder you are interested in
git log -n1 --pretty=format:"%h" --follow $YOUR_FOLDER
# Find all the files that have changed
git show --pretty=" --name-only $COMMIT_ID

# And make it a one liner
git show --pretty="" --name-only `git log -n1 --pretty=format:"%h" --follow $YOUR_FOLDER`
