git-diff: Show only names of changed files since a given commit.
$ git diff --name-only ${commit}
try on your machine
The command "git diff --name-only ${commit}" is used to show the names of files that have been modified between the current state of the repository and a specific commit.
Explanation of the command:
- "git diff" is a git command used to compare and show the differences between different states of the repository.
- "--name-only" is an option in the "git diff" command that specifies to only display the names of the modified files, rather than showing the actual differences in the content.
- "${commit}" is a placeholder for the actual commit reference or commit ID that you want to compare the current state against. It can be a branch name, a commit ID, or any reference that identifies a specific commit in the repository.
By running this command, you will see a list of file names that have been modified between the current state of the repository and the specified commit, without displaying the actual changes made in those files.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
