NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-show-branch - Show branches and their commits.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git show-branch [--all] [--heads] [--tags] [--more=<n>] [--merge-base] <reference>...'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Shows the head commits from the named <reference> (or all refs under
|
|
$GIT_DIR/refs/heads), and displays concise list of commit logs
|
|
to show their relationship semi-visually.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<reference>::
|
|
Name of the reference under $GIT_DIR/refs/.
|
|
|
|
--all --heads --tags::
|
|
Show all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs, $GIT_DIR/refs/heads,
|
|
and $GIT_DIR/refs/tags, respectively.
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
--merge-base::
|
|
Instead of showing the commit list, just act like the
|
|
'git-merge-base' command except that it can accept more
|
|
than two heads.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. Each commit shows a short name that
|
|
can be used as an exended SHA1 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'. "fixes" branch
|
|
adds one commit 'Introduce "reset type"'. "mhf" branch has many
|
|
other commits.
|
|
|
|
When only one head is given, the output format changes slightly
|
|
to conserve space. The '+' sign to show which commit is
|
|
reachable from which head and the first N lines to show the list
|
|
of heads being displayed are both meaningless so they are
|
|
omitted. Also the label given to each commit does not repeat
|
|
the name of the branch because it is obvious.
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------
|
|
$ git show-branch --more=4 master
|
|
[master] Add 'git show-branch'.
|
|
[~1] Add a new extended SHA1 syntax <name>~<num>
|
|
[~2] Fix "git-diff-script A B"
|
|
[~3] git-ls-files: generalized pathspecs
|
|
[~4] Make "git-ls-files" work in subdirectories
|
|
