Hi,

I wonder if there is a feature with which the history of the
repository can be listed?
i am interested in especially the usecases of pull and push, i.e. to
query when the a branch was refreshed with remote changes and which
commits were pulled, things like that.
Is this possible?

Thanks,
Zsolt

Have you looked at the "git reflog"[1] command? That can show the old
and new SHAs when a ref changes, and you can use "git log" to
determine which commits were added. That said, it's most useful for
fetch/pull; push information won't be as easily derived from your
local reflogs.

Hope this helps!
