How to only view commits created on a fork or branch? #22055
-
|
So, if I have a project that was forked, and I want to view only commits added to the fork, and not commits from the original project; how can I do that? Or more generally, view only commits added on the current branch? e.g. branch ‘feature’ was created from master, and I’d like to see a list of all commits created on feature, but not the commits from master? |

You can see the commits that exist only on the target branch but not on the base branch with the following (rather long) command: If you want to see what the various options do, you can view this command on explainshell.com. I hope that helps! |

Cool, thanks! I gather there’s no way to do this in GitHub then? |

Hi @icodesometime, Actually you should be able to view all the commits for a branch on github.com. To do so, you just need to select the branch from the “Branch” dropdown. This will put you directly on the branch whose commits you want to view. Then you can select “Compare” This will allow you to view a list of all the commits made for that branch. Hope this helps! Cheers! |

What if I want to view last commits to master? Compare does not show on master… |

On github you can go to repository you need, and then append to the address string the So you will get something like this:
