It’s not the commits you’ve made that touch the file, but the commits that you’re pulling. Inspect the remote branch you’re tracking to see what’s happened. For example, git log master..origin/master will show all the commits that have happened on origin/master since you last pulled. According to your output above, there are 26 of these. … Read more
