# 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ 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.
