yolog content different from git log

[Anzumana]

Hey,
i checked out a branch in git that i not have locally from my remote
git checkout origin/feature/map_distances.
In this state git log shows the last commits correclty yolog for some reason does not.
Not sure why.
Hope this helps.

That's strange, thanks for reporting. I'll try to reproduce this error.

Hi @Anzumana:
I tried to checkout on a remote branch and it displays a message that we are in a "Detached HEAD state". yolog strictly arranges commits according to dates, and there is a graph on left side. Here's a reference:

As you can see, the ref in red clearly states there is is simply an upstream remote branch and it doesn't exist locally. The branch is unmerged and dated long time ago so it was way beneath recent commits. Please go through the complete history, atleast till the time of the recent commit of the intended remote branch. I hope this solves it, thanks 😄

Just to clarify, due to ambigious "2015" dates - this happens when there is a rebase of older commits further. There are two kinds of dates associate with a commit - author date and committer date. Author date is the date when the commit was first created (that is displayed) and committer date is simply the date when it was recently rebased / amended. Mostly author dates and committer dates are same unless the history is not re-written.

I think the issue remains. if your local branches last commit is older then the remote which you try to checkout.
then there is no scrolling to get to head ( no HEAD visibile in the yolog output ).

Ah I see. The remote branch is recent that the recent commit on any local branches. Noted - great observation !

Glad to be helpful. :)
