查找已提交但未推送的 git 文件

Question

The normal git workflow is

• Edit files
• git add
• git commit
• git push

I am trying to find a command that tells me if there is anything that has been committed but not pushed. I have tried

git diff --stat --cached master

But this gives the same result before and after a push, but I thought that a push would removed the changed files from that staging area

Please can someone tell me the correct command for this.

Answer 1

When you've committed but not yet pushed, your local branch is ahead of (or has diverged from) it's upstream branch (usually origin/BRANCHNAME ).

In general, you can see this with

git status

which will say something like

On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

If you want to see specifically what files changed, something like

git diff --stat origin/master..HEAD

will show you (the generalized version, if you want a script to cope with any branch and remote, is harder).
