I’ve been trying to find a simple way to find out the commit differences in two git branches for while now. I resorted to using git show-branch which works pretty well, but can get cumbersome when you have a lot of branches. I just discovered git cherry is just want I’ve been looking for.
This will show the commit differences between my-dev-branch and master.
$ git checkout my-dev-branch
$ git cherry -v master
