7bd7f280 | 6 | git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream |
7fc9d69f JH |

8 | SYNOPSIS | |
9 | -------- | |
3bc52d7a | 10 | 'git cherry' [-v] [<upstream> [<head> [<limit>]]] |
7fc9d69f JH |

12 | DESCRIPTION | |
13 | ----------- | |
81ae43cd SE |
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>. | |
483bc4f0 | 16 | The commits are compared with their 'patch id', obtained from |
0b444cdb | 17 | the 'git patch-id' program. |

19 | Every commit that doesn't exist in the <upstream> branch |
20 | has its id (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have | |
21 | equivalent change already | |
81ae43cd | 22 | in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those |
a8ebdb90 RS |
23 | that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol: |
24 | ||
25 | __*__*__*__*__> <upstream> | |
26 | / | |
27 | fork-point | |
28 | \__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head> | |
29 | ||
30 | ||
31 | If a <limit> has been given then the commits along the <head> branch up | |
32 | to and including <limit> are not reported: | |
33 | ||
34 | __*__*__*__*__> <upstream> | |
35 | / | |
36 | fork-point | |
37 | \__*__*__<limit>__-__+__> <head> | |

40 | Because 'git cherry' compares the changeset rather than the commit id |
41 | (sha1), you can use 'git cherry' to find out if a commit you made locally | |
81ae43cd SE |
42 | has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example, |
43 | this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather | |
44 | than pushing or pulling commits directly. | |
