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

git cherry -v

This will list out your local comment history (not yet pushed) with corresponding message

Answer 2

This worked better for me:

git log --oneline @{upstream}..

or:

git log --oneline origin/(remotebranch)..

Answer 3

To list all unpushed commit in all branches easily you can use this command:

 git log --branches  @{u}..

Answer 4

You can do this with git log:

git log origin..

Assuming that origin is the name of your upstream, leaving off any revision name after .. implies HEAD, which lists the new commits that haven't been pushed.

Answer 5

It is not a bug. What you probably seeing is git status after a failed auto-merge where the changes from the remote are fetched but not yet merged.

To see the commits between local repo and remote do this:

git fetch

This is 100% safe and will not mock up your working copy. If there were changes git status wil show X commits ahead of origin/master.

You can now show log of commits that are in the remote but not in the local:

git log HEAD..origin

Answer 6

git log origin/master..HEAD

You can also view the diff using the same syntax

git diff origin/master..HEAD
