Is there a way to find all the files changed in a git branch from a certain path?

Question

I've been working on a project from a few months now and I'm moving to a new version and I need to check if the changes have been done by someone else or find what is different. Is there a way to look back at my branch and only see the files that have changed in a certain folder over a number of commits?

Thanks

You can run git log on your local clone of the repo:

# this will list the commits that touched target files or directories :
git log --graph -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2
git log --graph -- path/to/directory

# add the -p option if you want to view the diff for each commit at the same time :
git log --graph -p -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2
