How to list all the files in a commit?

Question

I am looking for a simple git command that provides a nicely formatted list of all files that were part of the commit given by a hash (SHA1), with no extraneous

Answer 1

There is a simple trick to view as a file listing, just add : after the hash.

git show 9d3a52c474:

You can then drill in,

git show 9d3a52c474:someDir/someOtherDir

If you hit a file you'll get the raw version of the file; which sometimes is what you want if you're only looking for a nice reference or key pieces of code (diffs can make everything a mess),

git show 9d3a52c474:someDir/someOtherDir/somefile

Only drawback of this method is that it doesn't easily show a tree of files.
