How can I check which commits have not been pushed to origin?

Question

I have made commits to my local branch (let's just say master) and have 'git pull'd down changes that others have made. When I run a 'git status', I see something like:

# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 4 commits. 

How can I see a list of the four commits that I have made that have yet to be pushed to origin?

Answer 1

git diff --stat origin/master 

will show the changed files.

git log origin/master..master 

will show the commits.

Answer 2

I tend to use gitk (or gitk --all) which will show this history of the branch. It also displays large friendly labels on origin/master and master (and any other tags that you have).

A more lo tech version is git log --graph
