There is a way, for example: If your branch is a branch from the develop branch you could run:

git log --no-merges --count HEAD ^develop --reverse --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit

I added some formatting to this to make it output a bulleted list with linebreaks: `git log --no-merges HEAD ^develop --reverse --pretty="format:* %s%n%b" --abbrev-commit` – Noumenon Sep 15 '22 at 14:01

git log --first-parent your_branch_name --reverse

where --first-parent - will show the commit messages but only from the your_branch_name branch
, --reverse - use a messages order which will display the commits from oldest on top to the most recent at the bottom.
