To list all commits that are ancestors of the current commit up to a specified commit in Git, you can use the following command:
git rev-list --ancestry-path <commit>..HEAD
In this command: - <commit> is the commit hash (or reference) up to which you want to list the ancestors. - HEAD represents the current commit. This will show you the commits in the current branch that are ancestors of the current commit (HEAD) and are also reachable from the specified commit. If you want to include the specified commit in the output, you can include it like this:
git rev-list <commit>..HEAD
Alternatively, if you want a more user-friendly view, you can also use:
git log <commit>..HEAD
This will give you a log of all commits that are ancestors of your current HEAD, up to the specified commit, in a more readable format.
