I want to know the list of files that are known to version control.
I know that in SVN, you can do something like:
svn -v status then you get a list of
"[rev#1] [rev#2] [creator] [file name]"
rev#1 is the last revision that has this file and rev#2 is the first revision that has this file.
This list contains all the files that are tracked by svn other than only the ones that have local changes.
I wonder how to do this using GIT
You do have this proposition for an equivalent of svn status with git:
git config alias.svn-status \!"\ { \ git ls-files -o --directory -t ; \ git status | grep --color=never 'deleted: ' | sed 's|^.*deleted: ||' | sed 's|^|D |' ; \ git ls-files -m -s | awk '{print \$NF}' | sort -u | sed 's|^|M |' ; \ } \ | sort -k 2 \ | sed 's|^\\(.\\) *|\\1 |'" I suspect git log --name-status mentioned by Techism (in the comments) in this SO question might make the alias shorter.
Its variant is actually based on diff --name-status:
svn-status = "! git ls-files --exclude-per-directory=.gitignore --exclude-from=.git/info/exclude --exclude-from=$HOME/.gitignore --others -t | sed 's| |\t|'; git diff HEAD --name-status " git status
That shows a status much like svn status command.
EG:
> $ git status > # On branch master > # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 2 commits. > # > # Changed but not updated: > # (use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed) > # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working > directory) > # > # modified: Gemfile > # modified: Gemfile.lock > # modified: app/controllers/application_controller.rb > # modified: app/controllers/home_controller.rb > # modified: app/controllers/projects_controller.rb > ... For redundancy sake, repeating answer from this similar question:
List all the files that ever existed in a Git repository
git log --pretty=format: --name-only --diff-filter=A | sort - or
git log --pretty=format: --name-status | cut -f2- | sort -u
