How to view the committed files you have not pushed yet

Question

For example I commit some files  the next day some more files  and so on  After some days I want to view all my committed files and view their difference with the remote repo  Note that I have not pushed anything  I just want to verify that if I push some thing then it will go to the remote repo as I expect

The previous answers are all good  but they all show origin master  These days  following the best practices  I rarely work directly on a master branch  let alone from origin repo  So if you are like me who work in a branch  here are tips   Say you are already on a branch  If not  git checkout that branch git log   to show a list of commit such as x08d46ffb1369e603c46ae96  You need only the latest commit which comes first  git show --name-only  x08d46ffb1369e603c46ae96   to show the files commited git show x08d46ffb1369e603c46ae96   show the detail diff of each changed file  Or more simply  just use HEAD   git show --name-only HEAD   to show a list of files committed git show HEAD   to show the detail diff

Assuming you re on local branch master  which is tracking origin master   git diff --stat origin master

Here you ll find your answer   Using Git how do I find changes between local and remote  For the lazy          Use  git log origin  HEAD    Use  git fetch  followed by  git log HEAD  origin   You can cherry-pick individual commits using the listed commit ids          The above assumes  of course  that  origin  is the name of your remote tracking branch  which it is if you ve used clone with default options

I m not great with Git  but this is what I do  This does not necessarily compare with the remote repo  but you can modify the git diff with the appropriate commit hash from the remote   Say you made one commit that you haven t pushed     First find the last two commits     git log -2   This shows the last commit first  and descends from there      jason   git my project  git log -2 commit ea7937edc8b10 Author  xyz Date    Wed Jul 27 14 06 41 2016 -0500      Made a change in July  commit 52f9bf7956f0 Author  xyz Date    Tue Jun 14 14 29 52 2016 -0500      Made a change in June   Now just use the two commit hashes  which I abbreviated  to run a diff   git diff 52f9bf7956f0 ea7937edc8b10

git diff HEAD origin master  Where origin is the remote repository and master is the default branch where you will push  Also  do a git fetch before the diff so that you are not diffing against a stale origin master   P S  I am also new to git  so in case the above is wrong  please rectify

The push command has a -n --dry-run option which will compute what needs to be pushed but not actually do it  Does that work for you
