I am using this to list all changed files since last commit:

git diff --name-only HEAD HEAD~1

How do I print only files which have been added since last commit (i.e. not deleted or updated)?

If there's no way, then how do I print the action next to the name, so I can parse it out and filter on only added files?

I think you want the [`--diff-filter` option](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff#Documentation/git-diff.txt---diff-filterACDMRTUXB82308203) – Chris Yungmann Feb 01 '21 at 20:37

To view the name of the files as well as their status, you can use [`--name-status`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff#Documentation/git-diff.txt---name-status) – Chris Yungmann Feb 01 '21 at 20:40
