NAME

6       git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git cherry [-v] [<upstream> [<head> [<limit>]]]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and
14       <head> is compared against each commit between the fork-point and
15       <upstream>. The commits are compared with their patch id, obtained from
16       the git patch-id program.
17
18       Every commit that doesn’t exist in the <upstream> branch has its id
19       (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have equivalent
20       change already in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-)
21       sign, and those that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with
22       a plus (+) symbol:
23
24                      __*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
25                     /
26           fork-point
27                     \__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head>
28
29       If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the <head> branch up
30       to and including <limit> are not reported:
31
32                      __*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
33                     /
34           fork-point
35                     \__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head>
36
37       Because git cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id
38       (sha1), you can use git cherry to find out if a commit you made locally
39       has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example,
40       this will happen if you’re feeding patches <upstream> via email rather
41       than pushing or pulling commits directly.
