Two handy aliases which show all changes between current HEAD revision and the remote branch origin/master for specific folders:

[alias]
rv = log HEAD..origin/master --reverse --stat --ignore-space-at-eol -b -- Folder1/ Folder2/Subfolder/ Folder3/
rc = "!git log HEAD..origin/master --oneline --ignore-space-at-eol -b -- Folder1/ Folder2/Subfolder/ Folder3/ | wc -l"
  • git rv: show log messages filtered by given folders
  • git rc: show count of log messages filtered by given folders
