How to get a list of all files that changed between two Git commits?

by

For files changed between a given SHA and your current commit:

git diff --name-only <starting SHA> HEAD

or if you want to include changed-but-not-yet-committed files:

git diff --name-only <starting SHA>

More generally, the following syntax will always tell you which files changed between two commits (specified by their SHAs or other names):

git diff --name-only <commit1> <commit2>

Using --name-status instead of --name-only will show what happened to the files as well as the names.
