I think what we should aim for is: 1. Teaching git-branch the same sorting as for-each-ref. So first --sort, and then possibly "-t" as an alias for "--sort=committerdate". 2. Teaching git-branch custom output formats. We have "-v" and "-vv", but it should support the full power of for-each-ref's --format atoms. 3. Teach branch and for-each-ref to support readable colors in their formats, like we do for "log --format". 4. Optionally add config options to configure defaults for the above, so "git branch" shows what you want. I'm (slowly) working on a refactor that will unify for-each-ref and branch, which would accomplish (1) and (2). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Branch list by date
I built this terribly-written alias because I wanted to see a list of branches by date of commit. The output looks like this: $ git bbd 11 months ago pipette_editor 7 weeks ago ensure-ie-rendering-edge 6 weeks ago strings-yml 5 weeks ago message-when-validation-fails 4 weeks ago new-parsers 11 days ago tax 8 hours ago search 7 hours ago browse 16 minutes ago master 8 seconds ago org-read And the alias, in all its glory: [alias] bbd = "!export head=$(git symbolic-ref HEAD); git for-each-ref --sort=committerdate --format 'color=$(if [[ %(refname) = $head ]]; then printf \"\\e[32m\"; fi); printf \"\\e[01;30m%%15s\\e(B\\e[m %%s%%s\\n\" %(committerdate:relative) $color %(refname:short)' refs/heads/ --shell | sh" I write this missive with dual purpose: firstly to share a potentially useful tool, and secondly to suggest that this feature (with a less mind-wrenchingly disgusting implementation) might be included in mainline git, as for example `git branch [-t] | [--by-time]`.
