Answer 1

To see which files are changed and view the actual code changes compared to the master branch you could use:

git diff --stat --patch origin master

^{NOTE: If you happen to use any of the Intellij IDEs then you can right-click your top-level project, select Git > Compare with branch > and pick the origin you want e.g. origin/master. In the file tree that will appear you can double-click the files to see a visual diff. Unlike the command-line option above you can edit your local versions from the diff window.}
