Is there a way to list all files currently under source control in git? (Not just those that have been modified).

If you want to list all files for a specific branch, e.g. master:

git ls-tree -r master --name-only

The -r option will let it recurse into subdirectories and print each file currently under version control. You can also specify HEAD instead of master to get the list for any other branch you might be in.

If you want to get a list of all files that ever existed, see here:

git log --pretty=format: --name-status | cut -f2- | sort -u

Thanks slhck, exactly what I was after - and useful to know about the second one too. Will mark as correct in 5 and a half minutes when I'm allowed. :-) – Anonymous May 28 '12 at 13:21

Thanks for the answer. I was looking for this. Note that git ls-tree -r master --name-only would do the same as the first option, without needing the cut. Ah, and you can specify HEAD instead of master if you just want this list for whatever branch you are currently on. – maurits Sep 13 '12 at 10:15

I believe you are looking for git ls files.
