git-missing - Show commits missing from another branch
git-missing [<first branch>] <second branch> [<git log options>] [[--] <path>...]
Shows commits that are in either of two branches but not both. Useful for seeing what would come across in a merge or push. Optionally, the comparison can be limited to specific paths.
[<first branch>]
First branch to compare. If not specified, defaults to currently checked out branch.
<second branch>
Second branch to compare.
[<git log options>]
Any flags that should be passed to 'git log', such as --no-merges.
[[--] <path>...]
Optional path specifications (pathspec) to limit the comparison to specific files or directories. For more details about the pathspec syntax, see the pathspec entry in gitglossary[7].
