+# List Different Commits Between Two Branches
+
+There are times when I want to get a sense of the difference between two
+branches. I don't want to look at the actual diff though, I just want to see
+what commits are on one and the other.
+
+I can do just this by using the `git-log` command with a couple flags, most
+importantly the `--cherry-pick` flag.
+
+To compare the `feature` branch against the `master` branch, I can run a
+command like the following:
+
+```
+$ git log --left-right --graph --cherry-pick --oneline feature...branch
+```
+
+This lists commits with the first line of their messages. It also includes
+either a `<` or `>` arrow at the front of each commit indicating whether the
+commit is on the left (`feature`) or right (`master`) branch, respectively.
+
+Note: you can use more than branches in a command like this. Any two
+references will work. You can just use two SHAs for instance.
