git-show-branch(1)
==================
NAME
----
git-show-branch - Show branches and their commits.
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-show-branch [--all] [--heads] [--tags] [--topo-order] [--more=<n> | --list | --independent | --merge-base] [--no-name | --sha1-name] [<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.
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.
--all --heads --tags::
Show all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs, $GIT_DIR/refs/heads,
and $GIT_DIR/refs/tags, respectively.
--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).
--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::
Synomym 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.
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. 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.
