gitgit-diff

Equivalent in git for `darcs whatsnew --summarize`? it summarizes current changes per file

I tried 

git diff --summary

as stated in git diff help, but changes are not being summarized, git diff does output changes in 5 different files.

Is there another way?

Example of darcs whatsnew --summarize output:

M ./XMonad/Prompt.hs -1 +1
M ./XMonad/Prompt/Shell.hs -1 +1
Solution

  • try

    git diff --stat

    it gives a nice line-per-file list/graph showing lines added and removed.
