I do
git pull
to get new commits from remote and merge them with my local branch.
How can I list the commits that "just came in" ?
If you are just interested in a specific branch (e.g., master), you can take the line in the output of git fetch that has that branch's name:
6ec1a9c..91f6e69 master -> origin/master
and use it to construct a git log command
git log --graph --decorate 6ec1a9c..91f6e69
The two periods mean "all commits that are in the second commit (origin/master) but are not in the first (master)", which is what you are looking for.
