show commits since branch creation

问题:

Is there a way to see with git log or some other command only the commits that were added after branch creation?

usage: git log [<options>] [<since>..<until>] [[--] <path>...]
   or: git show [options] <object>...

    --quiet               suppress diff output
    --source              show source
    --decorate[=...]      decorate options

回答1:

Use three periods to reference the commit at which the second branch diverged from the first, or in this case your branch diverged from master:

git log master...<your_branch_name>

Make sure to use three periods for this case.

Side-Note: You can also leave off your branch name as git automatically references the HEAD pointer in that case, for example:

git log master...

is equivalent to my previous example. This works anywhere a commit comparison is available.

Full documentation is here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitrevisions.html

Suppose you have a repo that looks like this:

base  -  A  -  B  -  C  -  D   (master)
                \
                 \-  X  -  Y  -  Z   (myBranch)

Verify the repo status:

> git checkout master
Already on 'master'
> git status ; git log --oneline
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean
d9addce D
110a9ab C
5f3f8db B
0f26e69 A
e764ffa base

and for myBranch:

> git checkout myBranch
> git status ; git log --oneline
On branch myBranch
nothing to commit, working directory clean
3bc0d40 Z
917ac8d Y
3e65f72 X
5f3f8db B
0f26e69 A
e764ffa base

Suppose you are on myBranch, and you want only changes SINCE master. Use the two-dot version:

> git log --oneline master..myBranch
3bc0d40 Z
917ac8d Y
3e65f72 X

The three-dot version gives all changes from the tip of master to the tip of myBranch. However, note that the common commit B is not included:

> git log --oneline master...myBranch
d9addce D
110a9ab C
3bc0d40 Z
917ac8d Y
3e65f72 X

PLEASE NOTE: git log and git diff BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY! The behavior is not exactly opposite, but almost:

> git diff master..myBranch
diff --git a/rev.txt b/rev.txt
index 1784810..e900b1c 100644
--- a/rev.txt
+++ b/rev.txt
@@ -1 +1 @@
-D
+Z

> git diff master...myBranch
diff --git a/rev.txt b/rev.txt
index 223b783..e900b1c 100644
--- a/rev.txt
+++ b/rev.txt
@@ -1 +1 @@
-B
+Z

So, the two-dot version shows the diff from tip of master (i.e. D) to tip of myBranch (Z). The three-dot version shows the difference from the base of myBranch (i.e. B) to the tip of myBranch (Z).

回答3:

If you're on the branch that you created:

git log master..

回答4:

Yes it's possible to compare your "new" branch with the master branch (commonly named : "master"):

git log master..<your_branch_name>

Of course, replace <your_branch_name>.

I could be wrong but I don't think any of the answers are exactly was being asked for in the OP so I wanted to add a new answer. I believe that this is the exact same question I had since in other source control systems this is very easy to do.

I have the following in MASTER:

'develop' | --> 'GP603'

In ORIGIN (my local system) I have:

'GP603' [CLONED from the remote/GP603 branch]

I then performed 2 different commits. First commit change File X. Second commit change File X and File Y. Some day later I wanted to just validate my assumption of the state of the local branch ORIGIN/GP603. This is what I did to validate that there were only he 2 commits I remembers doing (which in reality were the only 2 commits on the branch)

$ git log origin/GP.603...

(Commit 2) commit b0ed4b95a14bb1c4438c8b48a31db7a0e9f5c940 (HEAD -> GP.603) Author: xxxxxxx Date: Wed xxxxx -0400

1. Fixed defect where the format of the file names and paths were being added to HashTable in such a way that they would never be matched in any comparison.  This was an
defect causing older failed files to never be moved to the correct directory (WindowsServiceApplication.cs)

2. Removing worthless and contextless message as it does nothing but clog the log with garbage making it harder to read (DinoutFileHandler.cs)

(Commit 1) commit 2c4541ca73eacd4b2e20d89f018d2e3f70332e7e Author: xxxxxxx Date: Tue Oct xxxxx -0400

In ProcessFile() function need to perform a .ToLower() on the file path string when adding it o the failedFiles collection.
