Those existing only +in the <upstream> branch are prefixed with a minus (-) sign, and those +that only exist in the <head> branch are prefixed with a plus (+) symbol. + +Because git-cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id +(sha1), you can use git-cherry to find out if a commit you made locally +has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id. For example, +this will happen if you're feeding patches <upstream> via email rather +than pushing or pulling commits directly. + + +OPTIONS +------- +-v:: + Verbose. + +<upstream>:: + Upstream branch to compare against. + +<head>:: + Working branch; defaults to HEAD. + +Author +------ +Written by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite + |
