Bitbucket and compare two local folders with Git

work directly in git repository. You are adding unnecessary steps, and risking getting in a mess in the process.

@snapey so just make my local development folder a local git repository also?

Never mind got it:

work directly in git repository

As said I have used git for a while, but mostly pull, push, that sort of thing.

I am trying to find one git command that will give me a list of added, modified, and deleted files with folder structure.

This works for deleted:

git diff --diff-filter=D --name-only HEAD

this works for modified

git diff --name-only --diff-filter=M

Or one for just added and modified will work and I can run the deleted command separately.

I have tried at least 50 to 75 combinations of commands from stackoverflow.

I still haven't got one figured out for added files, this DOES NOT work

git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A

Looking to list like:

application/Core/AdminRoutes.php
nbproject/private/private.xml

I use github's desktop application. It makes this dead obvious.

You don't need to change anything about your repository, just install the app and point it at your repository

Thanks and if anyone lands here I found a command.

I searched google and stackoverflow 2 more hours.

This show all in working directory not committed yet.

git status --short

// to output to text file in windows

git status --short  > c:\yourfolder\changes.txt

//  not sure about linux and writing to text file.

At least 3 hours, git is tricky.

An update that might help someone. I discovered TortoiseGit, I can actually right click and then click diff.

From there I can actually save any added and changed files to a staging folder.

This works great if you are still maintaining a bitbucket repository but you are still just FTPing up your changes.

And it does show deleted, but you have to manually of course delete them.

So far I love this program.

I use it on Windows.
