如何从创建实际分支的地方知道分支的名称？

Question

In git how to find the name of the branch from which my actual branch created? Example: I created my development branch(dev-feature) from integration branch(dev-int). How to trace the integration from feature branch?

Answer 1

You can't.

You branch off from a commit , not from a branch. Branch is just a temporary tag that moves with commits while active.

Say there's a commit 0123456 where you have branch A and B. You make branch C. Which branch did you branch off of? The real answer is "neither" - you branched off from 0123456.

Also, branches don't remember where they started; the only thing you can do is trace the history back, and find where that history attached to the history of another branch. For example, to see where exactly def-feature history meets dev-int history,

git merge-base def-feature dev-int
