Git check if there is outstanding commits to push

Question

Is there a command I can run to check if there is any commits to push to origin/master? ``` git [some command] origin master ``` Would output something like: ``` origin/master is behind by 7 commits ```

Accepted Answer

Here are two ways to list the "extra" commits you have which are not on origin/master:

```
git log --oneline origin/master..HEAD
git rev-list --oneline ^origin/master HEAD
```

The `--oneline` just lists them in a shorter format. Also, if your branch tracks origin/master, a simple `git status` will show you.
