Display information about a git commit 'without diff' but 'with' files

Question

I have gone through quite a few variations of this question on SO and documentation and the closest command is git show --quiet and git log --name-only -1 -U

git show --quiet does not show the modified/added/removed/renamed files.

git log --name-only -1 -U is very close to what I need, it shows the commit details similar to git show in addition to the files changes. But it just shows the files changed (and without colour coding). It does not show whether the file was added/modified/renamed/removed.

Is there a command that can show the commit details + files added/modified/renamed/removed but without the diff? This is in hopes to remove my dependence on a GUI tool to go through each commit.

Answer 1

Use --name-status instead of --name-only, it does exactly that.

Look at the doc here.

(That being said, and as a sidenote, you don't need -U here, since --name-status or --name-only are preventing diff output anyway.)

I'd just do

git show --name-status
