✨ git-local-commits ✨

okay bestie, so this is a lil git-extras page — GIT-LOCAL-COMMITS(1) — and honestly? it's giving "who am I, what have I even committed" energy 💅

Let me spill. 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-local-commits — list local commits, fr fr

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

git-local-commits <args>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like. This one lists the commits sitting on your local branch that have not been pushed to the remote tracked branch. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Your secret little WIPs, your "I'll squash later" girlies, your wip x4 streak — all of it, on display. 😭

But heads up babes, there's a catch: it requires that HEAD points to a branch which is tracking another branch. No upstream tracking setup? No list. It literally cannot do the thing. Set your tracking branch first, queen. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • <args> — every single argument you hand to git-local-commits gets passed directly to git-log. No filtering, no meddling, no ✨curation✨. It's giving relay race. 🫶

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

$ git local-commits --graph

yeah that's the whole example and it ate, actually. --graph goes straight to git-log and you get your pretty little trees. 🌈
