What is the git equivalent of of hg outgoing (hg out) or hg incoming (hg in)? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

If you want to list commits that are on branch B but not on branch A, do git log A..B.

If you want to list commits that are on your local branch dev, but not the the remote branch origin/dev, do:

git fetch origin             # Update origin/dev if needed
git log origin/dev..dev

If you want to list commits that are on the remote branch, but not on the local branch, simply do the converse:

git fetch origin             # Update origin/dev if needed
git log dev..origin/dev

Note: you might find it easier to compare branches graphically using gitk origin origin/dev
