查找无法与另一个分支进行比较的当前分支已更改的文件

Question

My CI environment only has the branch being pushed. Is it possible to see all files that have changed since the creation of the branch without comparing it to another branch?

I found multiple examples comparing branches, but nothing that worked when only one branch is available.

I'm trying to think outside the box, like number of commits with the branch name then get that many commits from the log like such where -n would be the number of commits:

git log --name-only --pretty=format: -n 5 | sed '/^$/d' | uniq

but I cannot find a way to get the correct number of commits

Answer 1

git log - include the initial commit

/mnt/c/git/ConsoleApp1 (master)>git log --name-only --oneline --pretty=format: | sort | uniq

ConsoleApp1/Class1.cs
ConsoleApp1/ConsoleApp1.csproj
ConsoleApp1/Program.cs
ConsoleApp1.sln
.gitignore
x.txt
z.txt

git diff-tree Not including the first commit

1. Find the first commit eg git rev-list or git log

2. git diff-tree

    C:\\git\\ConsoleApp1>git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r 2f6e395..HEAD ConsoleApp1/Class1.cs x.txt z.txt 

git show - including first commit

1. Find the first commit eg git rev-list or git log

2. git show - please note that git show is a porcelain command and it's not meant for scripting

    C:\\git\\ConsoleApp1>git show --name-only --pretty="" -r 2f6e395..HEAD && git show --name-only --pretty="" -r 2f6e395 z.txt x.txt ConsoleApp1/Class1.cs .gitignore ConsoleApp1.sln ConsoleApp1/ConsoleApp1.csproj ConsoleApp1/Program.cs
