Question

I would like to inspect any code changes after doing a git pull. Currently it’s just showing me which files changes. How can I see what code changed?

Answer 1

git log --name-status -2

Will show you the names of the files that changed for the last two commits.

git log -p -2

Will show you the changes themselves.

Before you pull,

git fetch
git log --name-status origin/master..

Will show you what commits you are about to retrieve, along with the names of the files.
