NAME¶
git-show-branch - Show branches and their commitsSYNOPSIS¶
git show-branch [-a|--all] [-r|--remotes] [--topo-order | --date-order] [--current] [--color[=<when>] | --no-color] [--sparse] [--more=<n> | --list | --independent | --merge-base] [--no-name | --sha1-name] [--topics] [(<rev> | <glob>)...] git show-branch (-g|--reflog)[=<n>[,<base>]] [--list] [<ref>]
DESCRIPTION¶
Shows the commit ancestry graph starting from the commits named with <rev>s or <globs>s (or all refs under refs/heads and/or refs/tags) semi-visually. It cannot show more than 29 branches and commits at a time. It uses showbranch.default multi-valued configuration items if no <rev> or <glob> is given on the command line.OPTIONS¶
<rev>Arbitrary extended SHA-1 expression (see
gitrevisions(7)) that typically names a branch head or a tag.
<glob>
A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under
refs/. For example, if you have many topic branches under refs/heads/topic,
giving topic/* would show all of them.
-r, --remotes
Show the remote-tracking branches.
-a, --all
Show both remote-tracking branches and local
branches.
--current
With this option, the command includes the current branch
to the list of revs to be shown when it is not given on the command
line.
--topo-order
By default, the branches and their commits are shown in
reverse chronological order. This option makes them appear in topological
order (i.e., descendant commits are shown before their parents).
--date-order
This option is similar to --topo-order in the
sense that no parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise commits
are ordered according to their commit date.
--sparse
By default, the output omits merges that are reachable
from only one tip being shown. This option makes them visible.
--more=<n>
Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
that is the common ancestor of all the branches. This flag tells the command
to go <n> more common commits beyond that. When <n> is negative,
display only the <reference>s given, without showing the commit ancestry
tree.
--list
Synonym to --more=-1
--merge-base
Instead of showing the commit list, determine possible
merge bases for the specified commits. All merge bases will be contained in
all specified commits. This is different from how git-merge-base(1)
handles the case of three or more commits.
--independent
Among the <reference>s given, display only the ones
that cannot be reached from any other <reference>.
--no-name
Do not show naming strings for each commit.
--sha1-name
Instead of naming the commits using the path to reach
them from heads (e.g. "master~2" to mean the grandparent of
"master"), name them with the unique prefix of their object
names.
--topics
Shows only commits that are NOT on the first branch
given. This helps track topic branches by hiding any commit that is already in
the main line of development. When given "git show-branch --topics master
topic1 topic2", this will show the revisions given by "git rev-list
^master topic1 topic2"
-g, --reflog[=<n>[,<base>]] [<ref>]
Shows <n> most recent ref-log entries for the given
ref. If <base> is given, <n> entries going back from that entry.
<base> can be specified as count or date. When no explicit <ref>
parameter is given, it defaults to the current branch (or HEAD if it is
detached).
--color[=<when>]
Color the status sign (one of these: *!+-) of each commit
corresponding to the branch it’s in. The value must be always (the
default), never, or auto.
--no-color
Turn off colored output, even when the configuration file
gives the default to color output. Same as --color=never.
Note that --more, --list, --independent and --merge-base options are mutually
exclusive.
OUTPUT¶
Given N <references>, the first N lines are the one-line description from their commit message. The branch head that is pointed at by $GIT_DIR/HEAD is prefixed with an asterisk * character while other heads are prefixed with a ! character. Following these N lines, one-line log for each commit is displayed, indented N places. If a commit is on the I-th branch, the I-th indentation character shows a + sign; otherwise it shows a space. Merge commits are denoted by a - sign. Each commit shows a short name that can be used as an extended SHA-1 to name that commit. The following example shows three branches, "master", "fixes" and "mhf":$ git show-branch master fixes mhf * [master] Add 'git show-branch'. ! [fixes] Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset" ! [mhf] Allow "+remote:local" refspec to cause --force when fetching. --- + [mhf] Allow "+remote:local" refspec to cause --force when fetching. + [mhf~1] Use git-octopus when pulling more than one heads. + [fixes] Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset" + [mhf~2] "git fetch --force". + [mhf~3] Use .git/remote/origin, not .git/branches/origin. + [mhf~4] Make "git pull" and "git fetch" default to origin + [mhf~5] Infamous 'octopus merge' + [mhf~6] Retire git-parse-remote. + [mhf~7] Multi-head fetch. + [mhf~8] Start adding the $GIT_DIR/remotes/ support. *++ [master] Add 'git show-branch'.
EXAMPLE¶
If you keep your primary branches immediately under refs/heads, and topic branches in subdirectories of it, having the following in the configuration file may help:[showbranch] default = --topo-order default = heads/*
$ git show-branch --reflog="10,1 hour ago" --list master
