How to make git show --stat listing only the number of files changed, insertions and deletions?

Question

I am using the following Git command to get the data about a particular commit:

  git show <revhash> --stat >> ouput.csv

This is the output I get:

  commit 7bc745a289cf68cb2eba647bbfba9e9ec06eb771

   6 files changed, 171 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

I would like to get the list of files changed like this without the other metadata in the following way:

  1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)

I know I can use --shortstat, but it still gives other information such as commit hash, date e.t.c

I think there can be no such thing in git, but what would be the smartest way to parse the output of the last line then?

Answer 1

I would use --format

git show <commit> --shortstat --format="" >>output.csv
