To solve this issue I suggest, There should be an option to find out which commits are only present in only current branch and not present in any other. The user should be aware that if he deletes the branch some list of commits are not merged or present in any other branch and he is going to lose them forever. ``` ## Kristoffer Haugsbakk, 2023-09-28 08:21 Subject: Re: Feature Request - Unique commits list Message-ID: <8e315d35-7076-47e8-b3a5-6330587325e8@app.fastmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/8e315d35-7076-47e8-b3a5-6330587325e8%40app.fastmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Thu, Sep 28, 2023, at 10:16, Saurabh Sonar wrote: > The user should be aware that if he deletes the branch some list of > commits are not merged or present in any other branch and he is going > to lose them forever. That already happens now, though? (Well, not “forever” because of GC and whatnot.) You have to force the deletion with `-D` if the branch is not in the “upstream” branch. -- Kristoffer Haugsbakk ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2023-09-28 14:07 Subject: Re: Feature Request - Unique commits list Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/xmqqbkdml7b8.fsf%40gitster.g In-Reply-To: ``` Saurabh Sonar writes: > After merging the master branch into my local it is hard to find my > own commits in git history. I suspect the above may be the other way around (i.e., after the upstream takes some but not all of my changes into their 'master' branch, I want to find out what remaining topics from me are still not accepted by them), but anyway, doesn't something along the lines of $ git log --branches --not origin/master work for you? It asks * Please list commits ("git log") * The commits to be listed should be discovered by traversing the history starting from my branch tips ("--branches") * But I am not interested in those commits that can be reached from the 'master' branch of my upstream ("--not origin/master"). ```
