How to do Git Log see only merges to master branch?

Question

In my work process I need to provide a list of files to my server admin. The list comes from the merge of my working branch (Branch A) into Master branch.

So I merge

Answer 1

Narrow it down using git log --merges --author to figure out the commit you want and then try

git diff --name-only ${MERGE_SHA}^1..${MERGE_SHA}

Answer 2

I find it useful to narrow the path to first parent in order to ignore "update branch" merges.

Looks like this for me:

git log r2.8.7-2018-09-04..HEAD --merges --first-parent
