I can do git diff --name-only HEAD develop which gives a list of file names like this:

a.txt
b.txt
c.txt

How can I transform this to be separated by space like this:

a.txt b.txt c.txt

  • Side note: beware of Windows (and occasionally MacOS) files with names like `files for bob.rar`. Some systems also allow newlines in file names, but spaces in file names are very common these days. – torek Apr 12 '16 at 06:57

$ echo "a.txt
b.txt
c.txt" | paste -s -d ' '
a.txt b.txt c.txt
$

paste it serially(-s) with delimiter -d as space

or use translate tr command like this: 

$ echo "a.txt
b.txt
c.txt" | tr '\n' ' '
a.txt b.txt c.txt
