Git current branch commits list

Question

When you do a Pull Request in Github or Stash you get a list of the commit from your current branch.

What would be the git command to get a list of the commit which makes up the current branch without specifying the name of the branch which we started from?

Answer 1

You usually need to know from which branch you are coming from in order to list the commit specific to your current branch, as I explained in "Git log to get commits only for a specific branch"

Otherwise, you need to exclude the commits which are not part of only your branch (as suggested by dimirc):

git log mybranch --not $(git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/heads/ | grep -v "refs/heads/mybranch")

Or simpler, using git merge-base (if HEAD is not on your branch as in this question):

git log $(git merge-base HEAD branch)..branch
