Check for changes on Git Repository : BitBucket

Question

I am new to git so if you find my question stupid, just let me know and I will remove it.

So I have "push"ed a project to my private repository. Next day, I wanted to list all files that needs to be "pull"ed and "merge"d before I start my work. In other words I wanted to list all files that has been changed and pushed.

So what I did, I changed a file online, through BitBucket online editor and committed. But when I check on local for "diff", it doesn't list that file.

What am I missed here?

Answer 1

There are so many git commands and combination of commands to figure that out. The easiest, and in most cases I always use

git status or 
sudo git status 

in the checked out repo or in the cloned repo to figure out what changed.

Answer 2

Ok. I get it now. its first git fetch then to check for the difference you need to use git diff origin origin/master one you confirm, you do git merge to apply changes.
