# branch which has not pushed yet to the server

git log --branches --not --remotes --simplify-by-decoration --decorate --oneline

# Command breakdown:
#
# git log = print out the commit tree
# --branches --not --remotes = include only local branches in the output 
# --simplify-by-decoration = Commits that are referred by some branch or tag are selected
# --decorate = Print out branch name, tags etc.
# --oneline = Compact mode - print summary on single line per commit
