git-show: Show only the list of added, renamed or deleted files.
$ git show --summary ${commit}
try on your machine

The command "git show --summary ${commit}" is a Git command used to display the summary of a specific commit.

Let's break it down:

  • "git show" is a Git command that displays various information about a specified commit.
  • "--summary" is an option used with the "git show" command to provide a concise summary of the commit.
  • "${commit}" is a placeholder that represents the specific commit you want to display.

When you run this command and replace "${commit}" with the actual commit (like a commit hash or a branch name), Git will show detailed information about the commit, including the commit message, the author, the timestamp, and other relevant commit details.

The command is useful when you want to quickly view the summarized details of a particular commit without showing the complete changes or diff associated with that commit.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
