No one is mentioning: $ git log --merges Now you can see your features in a nice history and also have added benefit of seeing intermediary commits. Pro tip: merge commits aren't required to use the canned "Merge branch into..." message, you can give it any message you want, such as "feat: ..." or whatever your convention is. I hate that branch squashing has become something of a defacto. I actually do rewrite my history and often add context to my commits. `git blame` can be an incredibly useful tool to get context about a given small change. Getting a massive diff for a whole feature is much less so, especially since you can just look at the diff of the merge commit.
