The command "git show --stat ${commit}" is used to display the changes made in a specific commit along with some statistics about the changes.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"git show" is a command used in Git to display detailed information about specific objects such as commits, tags, and branches.
-
"--stat" is an optional flag that is used to show statistics or summary of the changes made in the commit. It displays the number of files changed, the number of lines added/removed, and the filename.
-
"${commit}" is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual commit hash or a reference to the commit you want to see the changes for. For example, you can use the full hexadecimal commit hash or a branch name like "master" or "develop."
When you run this command with the appropriate commit reference, Git will display the commit message, author, date, and the changes made to the files in that commit. Additionally, it will provide statistics about the files, lines added, and lines removed. This allows you to get a quick overview of the changes made in the specified commit.
