Viewing unpushed Git commits

Question

How can I view any local commits I\'ve made, that haven\'t yet been pushed to the remote repository? Occasionally, git status will print out that my branch is X

Answer 1

I use the following alias to get just the list of files (and the status) that have been committed but haven't been pushed (for the current branch)

git config --global alias.unpushed \
"diff origin/$(git name-rev --name-only HEAD)..HEAD --name-status"

then just do:

git unpushed
