Newbie question: how can I list added files?

git-ls-files doesn't seem to have an option for it, neither does git-add. Seems like it ought to be trivial, but I'm not seeing how to do it. :( Thank you!!

P.S.: yes, I know I can parse the output from git-status. I'd really rather not for various reasons. If it's the only way, then I'll do the only thing.

"git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A HEAD"?

Thank you, but "Nope." My added file doesn't show anything and not using the "--diff-filter" thing shows both added and not added files:

$ git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A HEAD $ git-status # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: sw/embedded/platform/strad/scripts/mk_relsrc.sh [...] $ git diff --name-only HEAD chip/chopin2/up/hdl/.sopc_builder/install.ptf chip/mozart/up_oam/hdl/.sopc_builder/install.ptf chip/mozart2/up/hdl/.sopc_builder/install.ptf chip/mozart2/up_ft/hdl/.sopc_builder/install.ptf sw/embedded/nios2/system/system.stf sw/embedded/platform/strad/scripts/mk_relsrc.sh sw/projects/nios2/modules/system/lib/system.stf $

Try using --name-status instead here and check what you see.

Usually when we say "added file", it means "a new file which has just been added". Did you mean "a file which was modified, but whose contents I have already added to the index"?

In that case, I think you just want:

  git diff --cached --name-only

to see files that differ between the index and HEAD (i.e., things which will be committed).

Hello,

"--name-status" just adds "M" in front of that list.

I mean a file that was "git add"-ed and thus is now staged. One would first guess that "git-ls-files --stage" would get what I want, but no, it lists every file in the repo. Not what I need.

*YES*  That *IS* what I want.  Thank you!!!  Regards, Bruce

P.S. Is it really so rare that someone would want this info that it should wind up being so obscure? I now have a new alias:

   alias git-ls-staged="git diff --cached --name-only"

Both: gitk and "git gui" show this quite clearly.

Did you know git has a builtin support for aliases?
  $ git config --global alias.ls-staged "diff --cached --name-only"

Or: git config alias.ls-staged "diff --cached --name-only"

(Perhaps add --global.)
