After I do git pull, I want to see the revisions I just fetched in gitk. How can I do this? I know I can see what revisions to use in the output of git pull and I can give them as a parameter to gitk, but I want to do this automatically.

(Actually, I don't need to see all the fetched revisions, those from the current branch are sufficient.)

I use msysgit's git bash.

You can try a command similar to the ones used in "How can I see incoming commits in git?"

git fetch && gitk ..origin/master

, using the <rev> part of the "gitk [<option>…] [<revs>] [--] [<path>…]" syntax. 

<revs>

Limit the revisions to show.
This can be either a single revision meaning show from the given revision and back, or it can be a range in the form "<from>..<to>" to show all revisions between <from> and back to <to>.

  • Hmm, that's a good idea, although I would extend that into `git fetch && gitk ..origin && git merge origin`. – svick Jul 12 '10 at 19:39

  • @Bill: I... I will somehow find it in me to go on and move forward. Thank you for your support in this difficult time ;) – VonC Jul 12 '10 at 20:16

Unless you have a really complicated tree there doesn't seem to be any reason not to use gitk --all &, then when you have done a git pull just select update or reload in the gitk menu.

  • If I did this, I wouldn't be able to distinguish new revisions from the old ones easily. – svick Jul 12 '10 at 19:33

    Don’t use `git pull` then. Use `git fetch`, reload in `gitk`, run `git merge` manually. – Bombe Mar 15 '11 at 14:19
