That's pretty cool, and I'll switch my workflow from using git branch -l to using git branch -vv from now on.

* master a04c5bb Update desc of css arrows We added an image to this branch, so lets list the files in the current directory.
#GIT LIST BRANCHES PLUS#
* master a04c5bb Update desc of css arrowsĪnd git branch -vv even goes further and shows you the last commit plus a possibly available tracked remote branch. In Git, a branch is a new/separate version of the main repository.

For listing all branches in local and remote repositories, run this command on the terminal: git branch -a. I learned that the branch command also provides two other flags that can come in handy. To overview all the branches, you can use git branch -l.
#GIT LIST BRANCHES HOW TO#
git branch How to create a branch in Git and switch to it immediately: In a single command, you can create and switch to a new branch right away. It will show a list of all branches and mark the current branch with an asterisk and highlight it in green. When you're working with git, you deal with several local branches. You can view all created branches using the git branch command. The article includes useful git tricks, and one particularly caught my eye. This is an awesome feature–but I think I’ll leave it to Ryan to explain in more detail.Today I came across How To Make Life Easier When Using Git by Shane Hudson. The last piece of the branch lists page is the compare button on each branch.
You can also see that there was almost as many commits from 1.2->2.2 as there has been from 2.2->master (Rails 3 beta). Using the divergence graphs, we can see how each of the point releases of Rails compare to the 2.2 release. If we take a look at the branches with 2.2 as the base, we get a pretty interesting page Rails keeps a branch for each point release. This view can also be fun to glean some information out of Rails releases. The current branch on a new repo is master but the master. A new repository (just created with git init) does not contain any commits. A Git branch is just a pointer to a commit. There’s a lot of unique commits in the branch and in your base branch so the likelihood of merge conflicts is much higher. As the documentation of git branch explains, git branch -all (or -a) lists all the branches from the local repository, both the local and the remote tracking branches.
On the left side of the black bar we show how many commits that branch is behind (commits in master not found in the branch). Not only do these new branch list pages show you which branches exist on your remote, but you can see at a glance how they compare to any branch.Įach branch has what we call a divergence graph. Check in on your topic branches in one glance We’re using some of this information to generate our new branch list page (you can get to this page from the ‘Branch List’ subnav item under Source). If you spend a lot of time with git, you’ll also find that there’s a lot of really useful information to be discovered in the way git can compare various branches. They’re great for developing features, maintaining old releases, or just plain experimentation. Branches are cheap, fast and extremely flexible. Git’s branching model is one of it’s best features.
