I'm convinced I've written a method in a different branch, but not the current one. Is there any way to view all changes to a file in different branches, ideally one that ignores branches merged into the current branch?

  • This sounds a lot like `git diff`... Is there a reason that is insufficient? What have you (or not) tried? – twalberg Feb 25 '13 at 17:06

To see all changes to files between two branches do the following:

git diff --stat <branch1> <branch2>

Then if you see the file that has changed between those two branches do:

git diff <branch1> <branch2> -- /path/to/file

If that's not enough, let me know.

Update: It appears this may be a duplicate of "How can I search Git branches for a file or directory?"

  • The trouble is not knowing which branch the file is in, and there are a fair few at the moment, so I'd like a way to look at all branches at the same time (local is probably enough, not remote). – Dean Barnes Feb 26 '13 at 10:14
