git rebase with changed files per commit in todo

Question

During an interactive rebase, it would be nice if there was an option to provide additional information per commit (preceded by #). Specifically, files modified for each commit would be helpful. I couldn't see any solution documented in the git rebase command line arguments, but perhaps there is scripted way to do this?

Answer 1

Just open another window, cd to the repository if needed, and git show <commit-id> to see the full commit with diff. Add --name-status to limit the diff to file-name-and-status, for instance.
