6 git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream
10 'git-cherry' [-v] <upstream> [<head>]
14 The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and <head>
15 is compared against each commit between the fork-point and <upstream>.
17 Every commit that doesn't exist in the <upstream> branch
18 has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have
19 equivalent change already
20 in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those
21 that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol.
23 Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id
24 (sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally
25 has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example,
26 this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather
27 than pushing or pulling commits directly.
36 Upstream branch to compare against.
39 Working branch; defaults to HEAD.
