Showing which files have changed between two revisions
I want to merge two branches that have been separated for a while and wanted to know which files have been modified.
Came across this link: http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html which was quite useful.
The tools to compare branches I've come across are:
git diff master..branch git log master..branch git shortlog master..branch Was wondering if there's something like "git status master..branch" to only see those files that are different between the two branches.
Without creating a new tool, I think this is the closest you can get to do that now (which of course will show repeats if a file was modified more than once):
git diff master..branch | grep "^diff" Was wondering if there's something I missed...
To compare the current branch against master
$ git diff --name-status master
To compare any pair of branches
$ git diff --name-status firstbranch..yourBranchName
That should do what you need, if I understand you correctly.
Try
$ git diff --stat --color master..branchName
This will give you more info about each change, while still using the same number of lines.
You can also flip the branches to get an even clearer picture of the difference if you were to merge the other way:
$ git diff --stat --color branchName..master
Also keep in mind that git has cheap and easy branching. If I think a merge could be problematic I create a branch for the merge. So if master has the changes I want to merge in and ba is my branch that needs the code from master I might do the following:
git checkout ba
git checkout -b ba-merge
git merge master
.... review new code and fix conflicts....
git commit
git checkout ba
git merge ba-merge
git branch -d ba-merge
git merge master
End result is that I got to try out the merge on a throw-away branch before screwing with my branch. If I get my self tangled up I can just delete the ba-merge branch and start over.
