I was on the master branch and created a new branch and moved to it:

git branch br2
git checkout br2

I then made 2 commits on br2

I moved back to master 

git checkout master

I did some work and made 3 commits

Now I want to push these 3 commits to origin/master First I do :

git status.

git status says :

On branch master. Your branch is ahead of orgin/master by 5 commits.

That seems odd. I only did 3 commits on the master branch.

So I run:

git log origin/master..HEAD

It shows 5 commits including the ones I did on the br2. In the listing of the commits, there is no indication of what branch they are associated with.

I'm a little confused. I want to push just those 3 commits I did on master, but I'm fearing that the 2 I did on br2 are going to be included.

Is there a better way for me to see what commits on the current (in this case master) branch are going to be pushed?

I have no plans to create a remote br2 branch. At some point I thought I'd merge br2 into master and then do a push so that all the br2 commits would go into the remote master at that time. Am I understanding this right?

  • `git status` won't "list" commits, it shows changes in the working directory. Please include actual commands and actual output, otherwise we can't really help. – user229044 Jul 11 '17 at 22:40
  • I forgot to put the git log command in there which lists the commits. – dam Jul 11 '17 at 23:42
  • See the linked duplicate, `git push --dry-run` is what you're after – user229044 Jul 11 '17 at 23:49
