Grab files changed by commit from GitHub API

Question

I am trying to use the GitHub API to grab all files changed by a particular commit, but I don't see a good way of doing it.

In other words, whats the equivalent of git show --name-only sha1 in the GitHub API?

Answer 1

If you fetch the commit via the Repository Commits API, the response will include a files array with the list of changed files:
