Problem

How to use the git show-branch command: Show branches and their commits. More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-show-branch>.

Solution

git show-branch — Show branches and their commits. More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-show-branch>.

Show a summary of the latest commit on a branch:
git show-branch {{branch_name|ref|commit}}


Compare commits in the history of multiple commits or branches:
git show-branch {{branch_name1|ref1|commit1 branch_name2|ref2|commit2 ...}}


Compare all remote tracking branches:
git show-branch {{[-r|--remotes]}}


Compare both local and remote tracking branches:
git show-branch {{[-a|--all]}}


List the latest commits in all branches:
git show-branch {{[-a|--all]}} --list


Compare a given branch with the current branch:
git show-branch --current {{commit|branch_name|ref}}


Display the commit name instead of the relative name:
git show-branch --sha1-name --current {{current|branch_name|ref}}


Keep going a given number of commits past the common ancestor:
git show-branch --more {{5}} {{branch_name1|ref1|commit1 branch_name2|ref2|commit2 ...}}
