I've been working on a project from a few months now and I'm moving to a new version and I need to check if the changes have been done by someone else or find what is different. Is there a way to look back at my branch and only see the files that have changed in a certain folder over a number of commits?

Thanks

Kieran

You can run git log on your local clone of the repo :

# this will list the commits that touched target files or directories :
git log --graph -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2
git log --graph -- path/to/directory

# add the -p option if you want to view the diff for each commit at the same time :
git log --graph -p -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2

  • Thanks. So it shows me the logs, is there a way for it to show me the individual files that have been changed, not the diff? – Kieran Briggs Aug 21 '20 at 08:28

    `--name-only` or `--name-status` instead of `-p`. These options works with all commands that show the content of a commit : `git log`, `git show`, `git diff` ... – LeGEC Aug 21 '20 at 08:54
