git: export diff files between 2 branches/commits
Raw
git-export.md

We can get list of changed files between 2 branches/commits by

$ tar --ignore-failed-read -vczf archive.tgz $(git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMRT master develop)

Let's see important part:

  1. git diff master develop:
    Get differences between master and develop branches.

  2. --name-only:
    Output only the names of the affected files instead of a full diff.

  3. --diff-filter=ACMRT:
    Only show files added, copied, modified, renamed or that had their type changed (eg. file → symlink) in this commit. This leaves out deleted files.
