获取第一个未推送的提交消息

Question

How can I get first not pushed git commit message on a branch ?

Suppose I have 3 commits on a branch "new_branch"

third_commit
second_commit
first_commit

I want to execute one git command to return only the first commit message not the commit id. Thanks

If new_branch ist checked out and the remote branch is marked as the upstream branch of new_branch (either because you got it from the remote or it as marked with --set-upstream when pushing) this should work for you:

git show --quiet --pretty=%B $(git rev-list @{u}..HEAD | tail -n 1)`

@{u} references the upstream branch, so rev-list will give you all commits in your local branch, that are not in the remote branch. tail -n 1 gives you only the lowest (=earliest) of those. git show would show that commit, where --quiet hides the diff and --pretty=%B only prints the commit message of that commit.

If new_branch is not checked out you can replace HEAD with new_branch and @{u} with the reference to the remote branch (eg origin/new_branch ). The later one would also help, if the upstream of new_branch is not configured.

git reflog will show all the commit name. see the git page
