It's a very common thing that a developer usually commits his / her work multiple times in a day. You make changes in your branch, commit them locally, and sometimes at the end of the day, you push them to the remote repository. If you want to see the changes in your last commit, you simply run the command:

git show
But what if you only want to see the names of the files which were changed? Okay, you run the same command with the --name-only parameter. i.e.

git show --name-only
Then what if you want to see all the files which were changed today? If you have made 3 commits today, then you can run the following command to view all the files which got affected across all your commits. To do this, you have to pass the -n parameter with the number of commits you want to view.

git show -n 3 --name-only
Okay, here's another useful tip. What if you want to see the files changed in a particular commit? For that, you only have to pass the commit id.

 git show --name-only 4adf9baa857c885g5a40518ccec68961ae08cc69 And, what if you want to see the files changed in another commit along with these? To do that, again you have to pass the other commit id, as shown below.

git show --name-only 4adf9baa857c885g5a40518ccec68961ae08cc69 7bdf8bac852c865f4a40518cbec689613e07c269

Today I had to install IIS in my dev laptop to do some bug fixes in an old web application written with PHP 5.5. I enabled the FastCGI module in IIS and loaded the web page in the browser. But it didn't work and it kept giving me this error. It didn't explicitly mention what caused the error. So it was a bit difficult for me to find a solution to this. However finally I found a fix to this and thought I should share it in my blog so it will help someone in the future (of course, only if you had to setup IIS to work with PHP). I used PHP 5.5.3.

This is the error I received:

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

php-cgi.exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly

Detailed Error Information
Module FastCgiModule
Notification ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler PHP
Error Code 0xc0000135 


If you get this error, the first thing you need to check is whether you have the right Visual C++ runtime package installed in your PC. If not, download and install it right away. It will surely fix your issue :)

As a help I will link to the Visual C++ package that helped me (This worked with PHP 5.5.3). If it doesn't help you, I guess you need to find the right version to download. I'll add some more links here so you can find and download it from the Microsoft website.

If you have PHP 5.5.x, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2012 package is what you need to install. Here is the link to that ->

Here is a list of other Visual C++ packages with download links from Microsoft. Make sure to download the file that suits your system architecture (32 bit / 64 bit). With 5.5, you have to download the x86 version anyway because PHP is running on 32 bit, not 64. :)
