Description
Git Manual GIT-CHERRY(1)
NAME
git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream
SYNOPSIS
git cherry [-v] [<upstream> [<head> [<limit>]]]
DESCRIPTION
The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the
fork-point and <head> is compared against each commit
between the fork-point and <upstream>. The commits are
compared with their patch id, obtained from the git patch-id
program.
Every commit that doesn't exist in the <upstream> branch has
its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that
have equivalent change already in the <upstream> branch are
prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those that only exist in
the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol:
__*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
/
fork-point
\__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head>
If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the
<head> branch up to and including <limit> are not reported:
__*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
/
fork-point
\__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head>
Because git cherry compares the changeset rather than the
commit id (sha1), you can use git cherry to find out if a
commit you made locally has been applied <upstream> under a
different commit id. For example, this will happen if you're
feeding patches <upstream> via email rather than pushing or
pulling commits directly.
OPTIONS
-v
Verbose.
<upstream>
Upstream branch to compare against. Defaults to the
first tracked remote branch, if available.
<head>
Working branch; defaults to HEAD.
