GIT list of new/modified/deleted files

Is there a way to get the list of all new/deleted/modified directories/files in a local/remote repository with relation to each other in Git?

The best way to list these file is using git status --porcelain.

For example:

git status --porcelain | awk 'match($1, "D"){print $2}'

shows you the tracked files which have been deleted from the local copy. You can delete all these files by appending an appropriate command to the pipe:

git status --porcelain | awk 'match($1, "D"){print $2}' | xargs git rm

git diff --name-only does the work, but it shows the tracked files only. In order to include the new files, you may (temporary) add all files with git add . and now the git diff --cached --name-only should list all changed files. After that, you may git restore --staged . to un-stage all files.

To git all files that your are added, modified deleted and new files you use two commands git ls-files -o to get all new files and git checkout for get delete files , modified files and added files

git ls-files -o && git checkout

How I know deleted, modified , deleted files and new files if you see before the file

  • A this is added file to git
  • D this is deleted file
  • M this is Modified file
  • Nothing before the file this is a new file

see this gif image get added, deleted, modified and new files in git

In my case I needed the list of all new/modified/untracked files. The below command did the trick:

git status --porcelain | cut -c 1-3 --complement

The cut -c 1-3 --complement part is for removing the three initial status characters so that I could run arbitrary scripts with xargs against the files. For instance, run eslint against all new/changed JavaScript files (in a nodejs repo):

git status --porcelain | cut -c 1-3 --complement | egrep .js$ | xargs npm run lint -- --fix

Do git diff and you will see all the files changed and the details of what changed in those files

To get just file names and status of the currently changed files you can simply:

git diff --name-status

You will get the bare output like this:

M       a.txt
M       b.txt

Now, pipe the output to cut to extract the second column:

git diff --name-status | cut -f2

Then you'll have just the file names:

a.txt
b.txt

use with command --name-status

example with tags:

git diff v1.0.1 v1.0.2 --name-status

example with commits:

git diff b79810fc4d be69e41d1c --name-status

it will list all the updated files with their statuses: M - modified D - deleted A - added

Use the dry-run (-n) option of git add:

git add -A -n

One way to do this is with the whatchanged command:

$ git whatchanged

This shows which files changed for each commit in the tree and can be used to look at specifics as well. Take a look at git help whatchanged

What you probably want is something like:

git fetch     # update what you know about the remote repo
git diff --name-status master origin/master

But it's pretty difficult to tell exactly what branches you want to diff from your question.

I'm not sure what you mean by with respect to each other, but if you want an individual listing (e.g. all modified files) you can use git ls-files with the right flags (for modified files it's -m). If you want all of this info at once, you can use git status --porcelain to get a script-parsable output of the status.
