Git Cookbook

This page lists some useful commands that I use with Git:

• Show all branches that contain a commit. Useful to see which branches a topic branch has been merged into.
• git branch --all --contains commit
• Show which branches have not been merged into the current or specified branch.
• git branch --all --no-merge [branch]
• Pretty-print history tree
• git log --oneline --graph --decorate --all
• List all changes that will be sent with the next push
• git log --branches --not --remotes
• Update from remote
• git fetch
• git rebase -p
• Get name of remote tracking branch for the current branch
• git branch -vv | ? { $_ -match '^\*' } | % { $_ -match '\[([^:]+)' | Out-Null; $Matches[1] }
• Get the most recently modified topic branch
•  git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --format='%(refname)' refs/remotes/origin/topic | select -first 1
