\ncommit_files = repo.git.show(commit, name_only=True, format="%n").splitlines() \n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nThis just prints the filenames without deeper analysis, so is much quicker than comparing full file trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tradeoff here is you only get the names without change types or detects around renames\/deletions like commit.stats.files<\/code> provides.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut when iterating through hundreds of commits, for example, it can make your script much faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Full Script Example for GitPython<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s walk through a full script to solidify the concepts:<\/p>\n\n\n
\nfrom git import Repo\nimport datetime\n\n# Set commit author date cutoff \nONE_WEEK = 7*24*60*60 # Unix timestamp\nlast_week = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(seconds=ONE_WEEK)\n\n# Open repository\nrepo = Repo("\/path\/to\/my\/repo\u201d) \n\nprint("Getting last week's commits...")\n\n# Get all commits in last week\ncommits = repo.iter_commits(since=last_week)\n\nfor commit in commits:\n print(f"Commit: {commit.hexsha}, Author: {commit.author.name}")\n \n # Get files changed in commit \n files = commit.stats.files\n print(f"Changed files: {files}")\n \n # Get deleted files \n deletes = commit.stats.files.get("del") \n print(f"Deleted files: {deletes}")\n \n # Filter only modified \n modified = commit.stats.files.get("mod")\n print(f"Modified files: {modified}") \n \nprint("Script complete!") \n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nRunning this would print output like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nGetting last week's commits...\nCommit: 467de124e, Author: John\nChanged files: ['helper.py', 'scripts\/process.py']\nDeleted files: [] \nModified files: ['helper.py']\n\nCommit: 9b1aff2fc, Author: Sarah\nChanged files: ['README.md', 'docs\/quickstart.md'] \nDeleted files: []\nModified files: ['README.md', 'docs\/quickstart.md']\n\nScript complete!\n\n<\/pre><\/div>\n\n\nSo here we:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
