NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-show-branch - Show branches and their commits |
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git-show-branch' [--all] [--remotes] [--topo-order] [--current] |
|
[--more=<n> | --list | --independent | --merge-base] |
|
[--no-name | --sha1-name] [--topics] [<rev> | <glob>]... |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
|
|
Shows the commit ancestry graph starting from the commits named |
|
with <rev>s or <globs>s (or all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads |
|
and/or $GIT_DIR/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> nor <glob> is given on the command line. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
<rev>:: |
|
Arbitrary extended SHA1 expression (see `git-rev-parse`) |
|
that typically names a branch HEAD or a tag. |
|
|
|
<glob>:: |
|
A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under |
|
$GIT_DIR/refs. For example, if you have many topic |
|
branches under $GIT_DIR/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). |
|
|
|
--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, just act like the |
|
'git-merge-base -a' command, except that it can accept |
|
more than two heads. |
|
|
|
--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 {caret}master |
|
topic1 topic2" |
|
|
|
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 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 $GIT_DIR/remotes/ support. |
|
*++ [master] Add 'git show-branch'. |
|
------------------------------------------------ |
|
|
|
These three branches all forked from a common commit, [master], |
|
whose commit message is "Add 'git show-branch'. "fixes" branch |
|
adds one commit 'Introduce "reset type"'. "mhf" branch has many |
|
other commits. The current branch is "master". |
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE |
|
------- |
|
|
|
If you keep your primary branches immediately under |
|
`$GIT_DIR/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. |
