I had a hard time following my own branches in a project. They got pretty
|
||
numerous, and I wasn’t sure if I pushed them to origin at all.
|
||
`git branch -a` can list all the branches, including remote ones, but, as
|
||
my list grew too big, it was impossible to follow it any more.
|
||
|
||
Thus, I have created a small script called git-branches-with-remotes, which
|
||
does the work for me. Its only requirements are git (of course), and the
|
||
`column` command, which is pretty obviously present on every POSIX
|
||
compliant systems (even OSX).
|
||
|
||
{% gist 8af6a3e86b57dd4c250e %}
|
||
|
||
I just put it in my path, and `git branches-with-remotes` does the work!
|
||
|
||
Edit (16 August): I have added some code to mark the current branch (if any)
|
||
with an asterisk. Also, I have put this script [in a
|
||
gist](https://gist.github.com/gergelypolonkai/8af6a3e86b57dd4c250e).
|
||
|
||
Edit (26 February, 2015): It turns out that `git branch -vv` shows the same
|
||
information and some more: it also shows if the branches are diverged, and the
|
||
first line of the last commit’s message.
