How to make 'git diff' ignore comments

Question

I am trying to produce a list of the files that were changed in a specific commit. The problem is, that every file has the version number in a comment at the top of the file

Answer 1

I found a solution. I can use this command:

git diff --numstat --minimal   | sed '/^[1-]\s\+[1-]\s\+.*/d'

To show the files that have more than one line changed between commits, which eliminates files whose only change was the version number in the comments.
