Hi,


for a pre-commit trigger I would like to retrieve the list of modified
files, such, that I could analyze the contents prior to commit.

what would be the best command for this


I thought about using "git status", but wondered, which other command
might return a nicer to parse list.

TIA

If you look at the git(1) man page, you will find a number of such
"low-level (plumbing) interrogation commands" listed.  For example:

 . git diff-index
 . git diff-files
 . git update-index
 . git status --porcelain

Hope that helps.

Thanks for your answer.

I'm currently using
git diff-index HEAD --cached

This seems to do what I was looking for.

git status --porcelain
doesn't exist on my old cygwin git (I assume it's proably a little too old)
