How to find out which remote branch remote HEAD points to?

Question

Our host lets us deploy using git push, to any branch. It looks like a few extra branches have been pushed to the host by mistake. Before I remove all the extra branches, I would like to double check which branch contains the current state of our live code, ie which branch remote head is currently at.

I've tried git branch -rv --list , but that just lists remote branches without showing head. I tried git log production --all --decorate --oneline , but that is showing me the local "production" branch, not all branches on the "production" remote.

You can try:

git checkout production
git branch -r --contains HEAD

In order to list all remote branches referencing HEAD .
