How to find last merge in git?

Question

For a web site, I have master and staging, I have worked on staging for about 10 days. How do I tell for sure what has changed since my last merge, or when that merge was? M

Answer 1

It looks like you don't really want to know what is changed since last merge, but what have I on branch staging that is not yet on branch master? (or the other way around). If so, look at the command git cherry.

Though I must confess I never used this command because of the output format, which is not really helpful. Maybe there is a way to feed this output to git log/git show or such.

Edit: As I understand, you don't need a tag to use git whatchanged. Try simply git whatchanged master..staging to see what changed on staging since you last merged from staging to master.
