According to this question, I can use git log master..my-branch to see the log of commits to my-branch, assuming it was created off master, regardless of which branch I am on. This is useful, but what if I want to see the log of all commits to master, back to the begging of time, while I have a different branch checked out? git log master..master does nothing (understandably)

Maybe you need just `git log`? – Hackerman Jun 25 '18 at 17:47

@Hackerman that will give me the log of the current branch – ewok Jun 25 '18 at 17:47

Mmmm...try this one `git log --no-merges master..` – Hackerman Jun 25 '18 at 17:52

@Hackerman my master branch contains nothing but merge commits. That produces nothing, even when on the master branch – ewok Jun 25 '18 at 17:53

Aaah, my mistake...just remove the `--no-merges` option...it should be `git log master..` – Hackerman Jun 25 '18 at 17:55

Does `git log master` not get you the history of `master`? – sp0gg Jun 25 '18 at 17:55

@sp0gg I don't know why that didn't seem to work before. thanks – ewok Jun 25 '18 at 17:58
