Git : List all unmerged changes in git

Question

Creating a branch for various topics, and not regularly deleting them when I don't need them any more, I have now ended up with about 50 branches ;)

I tried deleting branches and some of them have unmerged changes.

What I want is the ability to see exactly what changes are there in any branch on my repo that are not in the master. Is there a way to do that

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To list branches with commits not merged into master:

git branch --no-merged master

To list the relevant commits:

git cherry -v master <branch>

Answer 2

I came across this question when I was trying to remember the syntax of...

git log <branch> --not master --stat

This will show commits to <branch> that have not been merged to master. The --stat will include the files that were changed with the commits. You can also use this to compare any two branches by replacing master with a different branch name.

Answer 3

It is quite easy to get an overview of your branches with gitk.
