Output of git branch in tree like fashion

Right now, when I type "git branch"

it lists my branches in an arbitrary order.

What I would prefer would be if "git branch" listed my output in a tree like fasion, somethign like:

master
|-- foo
  |-开发者_JAVA技巧- foo1
  |-- foo2
|-- bar
  |-- bar4

Where here, foo & bar were branched from master; foo1 & foo2 were branched from foo; bar4 was branched from bar.

Is this easy to accomplish?

[Command line utilities only. This needs to fit into my zsh/vim workflow.]


The answer below uses git log:

I mentioned a similar approach in 2009 with "Unable to show a Git tree in terminal":

git log --graph --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit

But the full one I have been using is in "How to display the tag name and branch name using git log --graph" (2011):

git config --global alias.lgb "log --graph --pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) %C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset%n' --abbrev-commit --date=relative --branches"

git lgb

Original answer (2010)

git show-branch --list comes close of what you are looking for (with the topo order)

--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).

But the tool git wtf can help too. Example:

$ git wtf
Local branch: master
[ ] NOT in sync with remote (needs push)
    - Add before-search hook, for shortcuts for custom search queries. [4430d1b] (edwardzyang@...; 7 days ago)
Remote branch: origin/master (git@gitorious.org:sup/mainline.git)
[x] in sync with local

Feature branches:
{ } origin/release-0.8.1 is NOT merged in (1 commit ahead)
    - bump to 0.8.1 [dab43fb] (wmorgan-sup@...; 2 days ago)
[ ] labels-before-subj is NOT merged in (1 commit ahead)
    - put labels before subject in thread index view [790b64d] (marka@...; 4 weeks ago)
{x} origin/enclosed-message-display-tweaks merged in
(x) experiment merged in (only locally)

NOTE: working directory contains modified files

git-wtf shows you:

  • How your branch relates to the remote repo, if it's a tracking branch.
  • How your branch relates to non-feature ("version") branches, if it's a feature branch.
  • How your branch relates to the feature branches, if it's a version branch


It's not quite what you asked for, but

git log --graph --simplify-by-decoration --pretty=format:'%d' --all

does a pretty good job. It shows tags and remote branches as well. This may not be desirable for everyone, but I find it useful. --simplifiy-by-decoration is the big trick here for limiting the refs shown.

I use a similar command to view my log. I've been able to completely replace my gitk usage with it:

git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all

I use it by including these aliases in my ~/.gitconfig file:

[alias]
    l = log --graph --oneline --decorate
    ll = log --graph --oneline --decorate --branches --tags
    lll = log --graph --oneline --decorate --all

Edit: Updated suggested log command/aliases to use simpler option flags.


TLDR; use git show-tree, or the git lg alias (my preferred choice).

1. To show all branches (including remote branches) in a tree view:

Use git show-tree:

Note: git show-tree is not part of core git. You have to install it as an extra utility, known as "git-extras". On Linux Ubuntu, I do that with sudo apt install git-extras. Find your operating system in the installation instructions here and follow the instructions to install it: Installing git-extras.

Tested on Ubuntu:

# Install it
sudo apt install git-extras

# Run it:
git-show-tree
# OR (same thing)
git show-tree

This produces an effect similar to the 2 most upvoted answers here.

Source: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/git-show-tree.1.html

Examples:

man git show-tree shows the following example:

And here is a sample output of git show-tree on the ardupilot repo:

Output of git branch in tree like fashion


Also, if you have arcanist installed (correction: Uber's fork of arcanist installed--see the bottom of my answer here for installation instructions), arc flow shows a beautiful dependency tree of upstream dependencies (ie: which were set previously via arc flow new_branch or manually via git branch --set-upstream-to=upstream_branch). Example output of arc flow:

master                              
└──graft-D999
   └──new_feature_1
      └──new_feature_2 

I really find the arc flow view beautiful and useful, so I have this (inactive, and not-yet-functional) git tree open-source project where I plan to duplicate its behavior: https://github.com/ElectricRCAircraftGuy/git-tree.

2. To show one branch in a "tree-like" fashion:

# Show the currently-checked-out branch
git lg

# OR: show branch_name
git lg branch_name

You can add -p or --patch to show the lines changed too:

git lg -p
# OR
git lg --patch

To install the git lg alias (source: https://coderwall.com/p/euwpig/a-better-git-log):

git config --global alias.lg "log --color --graph \
--pretty=format:'%Cred%h%Creset -%C(yellow)%d%Creset %s %Cgreen(%cr) \
%C(bold blue)<%an>%Creset' --abbrev-commit"

Example output showing forks and merges and stuff on the sshfs repo:

Bonus git tricks:

  • How do I know if I'm running a nested shell? - see section here titled "Bonus: always show in your terminal your current git branch you are on too!"

  1. What's the difference between `arc graft` and `arc patch`?


The following example shows commit parents as well:

git log --graph --all \
--format='%C(cyan dim) %p %Cred %h %C(white dim) %s %Cgreen(%cr)%C(cyan dim) <%an>%C(bold yellow)%d%Creset'


You can use a tool called gitk.


For those who use Github, they have a branch network viewer that seems easier to read
