Get unique list of all files in a git repository, which I modified

+6
−1

I would like to get a list of all the files in a git repository which I modified.

Take for example the repository https://github.com/josephwright/beamer . I tried the command

git whatchanged --author=samcarter --no-commit-id --name-only

but the resulting list does have tons of duplicate entries.

Is there any better to get such a list without duplicates?

P.S. My main OS is mac OS 11.6.1, but I've also fedora, ubuntu and scientific linux avaiable in case it is easier on any of them

Operating system?

Assuming this is not available as a option to git itself, stating your operating system is important (unless you want to gather information for all of them). Your proposed solution, sort -u, is ideal for Unix systems. I guess in Windows things would be different, since it doesn't follow the POSIX standard.

Note also that the question is a particular case of the canonical "how do I remove duplicate entries from a file/stream/...".

@Quasímodo‭ Thanks for your comment. I added my OS, but I would basically be happy with an solution for any one from *unix

I was wondering if to formulate it more general without the focus on the particular use case, but if there were some build function in git or an interface on github, I did not want to exclude such approaches.

Quasímodo‭ "I guess in Windows things would be different, since it doesn't follow the POSIX standard." I did not touch a windows machine for years, but shouldn't basic functions now be available via the linux subsystem?

Very likely, although I also do not use Windows for years, so I don't even know if WSL is bundled by default or if it needs to be installed.
