Git - How can I list all files changed on the master branch between two times? [duplicate]

Question

This question already has answers here:

How can I get the diff between all the commits that occurred between two dates with Git? (11 answers)

Closed 6 years ago.

I'd like to find out all the files that have been modified on the master branch (or any one branch for that matter) between two dates.

I understand, from this post (How to list the file names only that changed between two commits?) that I can use

git diff --name-only SHA1 SHA2

but I don't know, a priori, what the SHA's are between today and yesterday. Especially when there can be more than one commit on a day.

To be more precise, I would like to know the list of files changed on the master git repo between Today at 12:01 AM and yesterday at 12:01 AM.

Is this possible? I used to be able to do this in CVS with cvs diff -D "1 days ago".

Answer 1

git has a facility for using the reflog to get the position a name was at an arbitrary amount of time ago.

git diff --name-only master@{1 day ago} master

This will give you the difference between where master was exactly one day prior to now, and where master is now.
