How can I get git difference of my feature branch w.r.t master branch. I only want changes that are there in the feature branch and exclude changes of master branch. E.g.If feature branch has following commits:
Whereas master has following commits:
Then I want all directory names that were modified in just the commit b & c (don't need commit hash just the directory names). I have so far tried git --name-only diff master..feature command but it seems it is returning all the changes.
@Mark's answer really helped me find what I was looking for, thanks a lot for that. But with local branch names I was also getting a lot of entries including the .gitignore which did not have any changes. What worked for me is following, which is a slight modification of Mark's original answer:
git diff --name-only $(git merge-base remotes/origin/master remotes/origin/feature) remotes/origin/feature
This gave me exactly what I was looking for.
