git: “Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind..” but how to see differences?

by

in order to see the differences, first you need to fetch the commits from the origin repository:

git fetch origin

Now you can see the diffs (Assuming you are on the master branch)
git diff HEAD..origin/master

Now you are armed with the knowledge you seek to decide to merge or rebase before pushing your changes.
