Question Is there a way to see what files have changed in a branch? Answer An alternative to the answer by @Marco Ponti, and avoiding the checkout: git diff --name-only <notMainDev> $(git merge-base <notMainDev> <mainDev>) If your particular shell doesn't understand the $() construct, use back-ticks instead.

Question I just want to see the files that were committed in the last commit exactly as I saw the list when I did git commit. Unfortunately searching for git "last commit" log in Google gets me nowhere. And git diff HEAD^..HEAD is not what I need, of course, since it spews the guts of the change too.

Question I think it should work to copy the directory to be renamed to a new directory with desired name, and delete the old directory, and git add, git commit and push everything.

Question How can I go about rolling back to a specific commit in git? The best answer someone could give me was to use git revert X times until I reach the desired commit. So let's say I want to revert back to a commit that's 20 commits old, I'd have to run it 20 times. Is there an easier way to do this? I can't use reset because this repository is public.…
