Log of remote history

Question

I have been asked to make a log of all the pushes made to a remote repository during a working day to display along side our build information. I am having trouble getting the necessary information for the remote repository.

I can get the info in relation to my local version of the repository with "$git log", and I have come close with the command "$git reflog show origin/master" on the remote but the main problem here is that it shows no details.

My remote repository is hosted on BitBucket. I am trying to get the list of files that have been pushed and the commit message associated with that push, across the whole day. Is this possible?

Answer 1

You have first to fetch the remote branch into your local remotes/origin. Then you can log this. For instance, if you are working on branch master:

git fetch
git log FETCH_HEAD

This will now show you the log from remotes/origin/master on your local machine.

Answer 2

git log origin

This will give you a log of commits on the origin remote.
