git diff <commitA> --name-only

This command shows the names of the files that have been changed between the current commit and commitA. It provides a summary of the changes without displaying the actual content of the files.

<commitA> is the specific commit you want to compare to the current commit. By using the --name-only flag, it tells git to only display the names of the changed files. This can be useful when you just need a quick overview of the modifications without the need for a detailed diff.

Some possible variations include:

• git diff <commitA> <commitB> --name-only: This command can be used to show the names of the changed files between commitA and commitB. By specifying two commits, you can compare a specific range of commits.
• git diff --stat <commitA>: By using the --stat flag instead, Git provides a summary of the modifications including the number of changed lines for each file.
