Also: sometimes I don't want to see the individual commits - just the overall change in this branch [aka the MR 'changes' view] git diff main...origin/jacobf/2020-09-09/feature/petscmapping/future Only diff for include/petsc.h git diff main...origin/jacobf/2020-09-09/feature/petscmapping/future include/petsc.h Satish On Wed, 3 Mar 2021, Satish Balay via petsc-dev wrote:

And I frequently use it - for ex, to check (only) the commits in a branch - say origin/jacobf/2020-09-09/feature/petscmapping/future

gitk main..origin/jacobf/2020-09-09/feature/petscmapping/future

[equivalent to "git log main..origin/jacobf/2020-09-09/feature/petscmapping/future"]

And then check the diffs for individual commit (as needed) via this interface

Check only the diffs for changes to include/petsc.h in this branch

gitk main..origin/jacobf/2020-09-09/feature/petscmapping/future include/petsc.h

git: 'graph' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

I have it as an alias:

graph = !git log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit --date=relative
