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=:: + 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 more common commits + beyond that. When is negative, display only the + 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 linkgit:git-merge-base[1] handles + the case of three or more commits. + +--independent:: + Among the s given, display only the ones that + cannot be reached from any other . + +--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 {caret}master + topic1 topic2" + +-g:: +--reflog[=[,]] []:: + Shows most recent ref-log entries for the given + ref. If is given, entries going back from + that entry. can be specified as count or date. + When no explicit parameter is given, it defaults to the + current branch (or `HEAD` if it is detached). + +--color[=]:: + 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 , 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 $GIT_DIR/remotes/ support. +*++ [master] Add 'git show-branch'. +------------------------------------------------ + +These three branches all forked from a common commit, [master], +whose commit message is "Add \'git show-branch'". +The "fixes" branch adds one commit "Introduce "reset type" flag to +"git reset"". The "mhf" branch adds many other commits. +The current branch is "master". + + +EXAMPLES +-------- + +If you keep your primary branches immediately under +`refs/heads`, and topic branches in subdirectories of +it, having the following in the configuration file may help: + +------------ +[showbranch] + default = --topo-order + default = heads/* + +------------ + +With this, `git show-branch` without extra parameters would show +only the primary branches. In addition, if you happen to be on +your topic branch, it is shown as well. + +------------ +$ git show-branch --reflog="10,1 hour ago" --list master +------------ + +shows 10 reflog entries going back from the tip as of 1 hour ago. +Without `--list`, the output also shows how these tips are +topologically related with each other. + +CONFIGURATION +------------- + +include::includes/cmd-config-section-all.txt[] + +include::config/showbranch.txt[] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite -- cgit v1.2.3
