I have three Git commits that I committed locally, but have not pushed to GitHub. I would like to view the changes/diffs for all three commits, how do I view all the diffs?

I tried: git log --branches --not --remotes

Which shows me the three commits, but not all the diffs/changes of each.

Thanks for the help.

You could probably use git diff like this:

git diff origin/master..HEAD

assuming that your HEAD is currently pointing to your latest commit. Otherwise, you could just use

git diff origin/master..master

(Of course, change accordingly if your remote isn't origin, or if your branch isn't master.)
