Description

  • prints all local branches, one per line
  • sorted by most recently updated (last commit date); rebased = updated
  • shows last commit date + branch name + (different color) last commit message

Usage:

$ branches # prints all local branches (long output but it's still fast)
2020-11-03 PV-14100 #Last commit message from PV-14100
2020-10-30 POC_UPDATE_WEBPACK #Last commit message from POC_UPDATE_WEBPACK
2020-10-04 PV-9862 #Last commit message from PV-9862
2020-09-11 PV-8290 #Last commit message from PV-8290
...

$ branches | head -10 # show only 10 most recently updated
