| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-cherry' [-v] <upstream> [<head>] [<limit>] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and <head> |
| is compared against each commit between the fork-point and <upstream>. |
| The commits are compared with their 'patch id', obtained from linkgit:git-patch-id[1] |
| program. |
| |
| Every commit that doesn't exist in the <upstream> branch |
| has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have |
| equivalent change already |
| in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those |
| that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol: |
| |
| __*__*__*__*__> <upstream> |
| / |
| fork-point |
| \__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head> |
| |
| |
| If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the <head> branch up |
| to and including <limit> are not reported: |
| |
| __*__*__*__*__> <upstream> |
| / |
| fork-point |
| \__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head> |
| |
| |
| Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id |
| (sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally |
| has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example, |
| this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather |
| than pushing or pulling commits directly. |
| |
