git: how to see changes the next push will send

I want to see a list of all changes the next push would do. git status seems to know that I've made local commits... how do I have it show me what those are? What I've been doing is something like this:

% git status
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 7 commits.
...

Okay, it said 7 commits. So then I do

% git diff --name-status HEAD~7
M       bin/bench
M       scala/001/0开发者_如何学Python2.scala
M       scala/007/01.scala
A       scala/010/01.scala
A       scala/016/01.scala
A       scala/020/01.scala

Is there a more concise way to do this? I'm used to svn where "svn diff" would essentially do this, because there's no notion of staged/unstaged.

git diff --name-status origin/master

Note that you can also define an alias in your git configuration file, such as the "newmaster" one:

git config alias.newmaster "diff --name-status origin/master"

Once this is done, you can use

git newmaster

to get what you want.

Isn't that what 'git cherry' is for ?

I have a shell alias 'push?':

$ type push? 
push? is aliased to `git cherry -v origin/master'

That doesn't give you the exact changes made but your good commit messages should tell you enough.

This will list all the commits that exist in your branch but not in origin/master

git log origin/master..
