Git: List git branches, sort by (and show) date [duplicate]
How can I list git branches showing and sorting by their last commits' dates?
I've found this:
for k in `git branch | sed s/^..//`; do
echo -e `git log -1 --pretty=format:"%Cgreen%ci %Cblue%cr%Creset" "$k"`\\t"$k";
done | sort -r
I'd expect plain git to have this feature. Does it?
I also found git show-branch --date-order
but the output is something different.
This appears to be a built-in way to achieve that (v1.7.4):
git for-each-ref --sort=committerdate refs/heads/ --format='%(committerdate:short) %(refname:short)'
I've enjoyed the @Will Sheppard solution to put some colors.
git for-each-ref --sort=committerdate refs/heads/ --format='%(color: red)%(committerdate:short) %(color: cyan)%(refname:short)'
