I don’t see three dots when I do the “git diff –name-status branch-1 branch-2”
But what I’m also finding is that the diff report is not accurate in this case:
Master –> Branch-1
Branch-1 --> Branch-2
The diff for master to and from branch-1 is accurate
The diff for branch-1 to and from branch-2 is accurate
The diff for master to and from branch-2 is completely wrong
Is there a better way to find the changes/diff between 2 branches?
Thanks very much

Subject: [git-users] Re: Git - how to determine what files changes
Do you mean that you simply need to get the direct difference between A and B.
Or do you mean you want to see hwat changed in A since B was forked, and like
wise what changed in B since that same fork point?
Have a look for the three dot `...` notation to get a fork point and also the
boundary (`<, >`) indications of left side and right side.
Hope that helps for a hint when cross checking with the various man pages.
Philip.

Is there a command that will show the files that changed when changing branches?
I want to have an easy way to tell which files have changed when I switch from
Branch A to Branch B, or vice versa.
This seems to work but I can’t easily tell which files changed in which branch
(or I’m just not seeing it):
git diff --name-status branch1 branch2
Thank you
