Three Git branch options you might not know

Hey there! I’m Srebalaji. You are receiving this email because you have subscribed to level up your game in Git.

List all branches that are already merged into a particular branch

git branch --merged <respective_branch_name>

Example
git branch --merged master

The above command will help you find all branches already merged with the master branch.

---

List branches containing a particular commit hash

git branch --contains <commit-hash>

Example
git branch --contains f9456ba

The above command will list all branches containing a provided commit hash.

---

Show all commits in the current branch yet to be merged to the parent

git cherry -v <parent_branch>

Example
git cherry -v master

The above command will list all commits in the current branch yet to be merged to the respective branch.

That’s it for today.

See you next week :)
