Git. "Peek" at changes other people pushed?

I'm yet fresh to Git.

Is there any way to see changes other people pushed to repo since the last time I made a merge to my local machine?

I basically need an command line equivalent of Atlassian SourceTree feature of "looking ahead" at commits people pushed since my last merge without fetching those commits (?)...

You can fetch the commits without actually updating your working copy. Just use git fetch and then browse the various refs it pulls down (the refs are named <remotename>/<branchname> - e.g. origin/master).

# Fetch an updated list of commits from the remote, without merging
$ git fetch origin

# View the log output for the version of 'master' we just fetched from 'origin'
$ git log origin/master
