Rename a file foo.txt to bar.txt, then git add. I would like to get all changed file paths. Since it's a rename we are technically changing two file paths:

foo.txt
bar.txt

What I've tried

git diff --name-only -- only gives bar.txt

git diff --name-only HEAD... gives nothing because the ... syntax just puts head at the end.

git diff --name-only ...HEAD gives nothing.

Here's how to do it if I commit my changes (but that's not the question here)

git diff --name-only HEAD~1 HEAD -- will spit out bar.txt but requires two commit hashes. My changes are not committed, so I don't have a hash.

git diff --name-only HEAD HEAD~1 -- will spit out foo.txt but requires two commit hashes. My changes are not committed, so I don't have a hash.

CodePudding user response：

Name-only just shows you the current (or last, for deleted) names of affected files. If you want more details on what happened to them,

git diff --name-status @

Since you git added the rename, it's already in your index, the remaining difference is from your checked out commit @ aka HEAD.

You could also git diff --name-status --cached @ to show any changes in what you've added, ignoring the work tree.
