Git list of staged files


The best way to do this is by running the command:

git diff --name-only --cached

When you check the manual you will likely find the following:

--name-only    Show only names of changed files.

And on the example part of the manual:

git diff --cached    Changes between the index and your current HEAD.

Combined together you get the changes between the index and your current HEAD and Show only names of changed files.

Update: --staged is also available as an alias for --cached above in more recent git versions.
