git -> show list of files changed in recent commits in a specific directory

Question

In Subversion svn log is the command to display commit log messages -- for details see the online manual at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.ref.svn.c.log

Answer 1

Try to do

git log -p -10 yourdir/

It should work.

Answer 2

git show $commitId$ --name-only

It will result in the files which are changed during this commit

Answer 3

To show all the commit of your branch(recent and old), you need to count the number of commits in the branch

git rev-list --count branch_name

Once you get all the commit count, you can run

git log --name-status -countNumber /path

Answer 4

This one is more similar to the svn command as it shows the file status: Added (A), Copied (C), Deleted (D), Modified (M), Renamed (R), and others.

git log --name-status -10 path/to/dir

It is worth looking at the full documentation page for git log. There you will learn that -10 refers to the past 10 commits, and -p will give you the full patch, among a variety of other goodies.

Answer 5

To show all files changed in the last 10 commits, without any commit information, do:

git diff --name-only HEAD~10..HEAD yourdir
