How do you get the list of files included in diff?

Question

I have a patch file containing the output from git diff. I want to get a summary of all the files that were added or changed according to the patch file. Which team can I use to achieve this?

Answer 1

patchutilsincludes utility lsdiff.

Answer 2

grep '+++' mydiff.patch seems to be doing the trick.

I can also use git diff --names-onlywhich is probably the best approach.

Answer 3

grep '+++' mydiff.patch|perl -pe 's/\+\+\+ //g'

:

git diff

+++ b/file

, grep,

grep '+++' mydiff.patch

, "+++" (3 ).

- . , perl/regex .

grep '+++' mydiff.patch|perl -pe 's/\+\+\+ //g'

For patch files created using diff -Naur, the mydiff.patch file contains entries with the file name and date (indicates the space character of the tab)

+++ b/file<tab>2013-07-03 13:58:45.000000000 +0200

To extract the file names for this, use

grep '+++' mydiff.patch|perl -pe 's/\+\+\+ (.*)\t.*/\1/g'
