GIT-CHERRY(1) Git Manual GIT-CHERRY(1)

NAME
       git-cherry - Find commits not merged upstream

SYNOPSIS
       git cherry [-v] [ [ []]]


DESCRIPTION
       The changeset (or "diff") of each commit between the fork-point and
        is compared against each commit between the fork-point and
       . The commits are compared with their patch id, obtained from
       the git patch-id program.

       Every commit that doesn’t exist in the  branch has its id
       (sha1) reported, prefixed by a symbol. The ones that have equivalent
       change already in the  branch are prefixed with a minus (-)
       sign, and those that only exist in the  branch are prefixed with
       a plus (+) symbol:

                      ****> 
                     /
           fork-point
                     \++-++-+> 

       If a  has been given then the commits along the  branch up
       to and including  are not reported:

                      ****> 
                     /
           fork-point
                     \**-+> 

       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  under a different commit id. For example,
       this will happen if you’re feeding patches  via email rather
       than pushing or pulling commits directly.

OPTIONS
       -v
           Verbose.

           remote branch, if available.

       
           Working branch; defaults to HEAD.

       
           Do not report commits up to (and including) limit.
