What are Git Commits?

Before diving into the commands, it’s important to understand a few concepts:

• Commit: A commit in Git represents a snapshot of your repository at a specific point in time. Each commit has a unique hash.
• Remote Repository (Origin): This is the version of your project that is hosted on a remote server, such as GitHub or GitLab. The default remote repository is usually called origin.
• Branch: A branch is a pointer to a specific commit. The default branch is often named main or master.

Note: Ensure you have Git installed on your system. You can check this by running:

git --version

Tracking changes efficiently and ensuring that your local commits are pushed to the remote repository is important. However, there are times when you may have local commits that haven’t yet been pushed to the origin. Identifying these commits can be important for synchronizing your work with your team. This article will guide you through the process of listing unpushed Git commits in detail.
