Hi Artem,

Branches are ephemeral (temporary), so in general it's not possible, which is part of the Git design.

Also why must is be using just the 'git log' command, rethar than a bit of scripting (The Linux way (TM))?

If you have a well defined branch and merge policy that prevents criss cross merges, or feature on feature development, along with recording branch names in the merge message in a standard format, then you have a chance.

The thing to look for is the --merge-base option(s), however beware of the reflog issue (see https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqq375okvxy....@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/) as the reflog may suggest an alternate merge-base.

So why 'git log' alone?, and do you have a tight process?

Philip

Subject: [git-users] How to parse commit graph from git log output?


Hello!

I want to retrieve commit graph of some repo using only git log output (git log --parents --all --source). In general, I want to know when a particular
branch was created and merged into the master (or another branch). Where
can I find information on how to do this correctly?
