Git: how to list the commits on the branch

git log branch-name --not default-branch-name --oneline

(default-branch-name should be the name of the default branch, such as main, master etc.).

For example, in https://github.com/actions/runner repo, brcrista/makefiles branch has 7 commits.

❯ git log brcrista/makefiles --not main --oneline
