Just be sure you're doing diff against updated ref:
$ git fetch
$ git diff master..origin/incremental
or
$ git checkout incremental
$ git pull
$ git diff master..HEAD
Question
I am trying to check my master branch against another branch. It is hosted on bitbucket and I have verified there that branch (called incremental) is just returning nothing. So when I diff the branch like this:
git diff master..incremental
I get nothing. In case it makes a difference I'm on the master branch as this ourput shows:
>LLG_db conryf$ git branch
component_integration
incremental
* master
Like I said, I'm sure the branches differ but none of those diff are showing up. Here is a bit of the bitbcket output (the branches are way different):
