git - which remote branch is my local branch based on

Question

I have seen few posts saying that running

git branch -lvv

will show all your local branches and beside them, the remote branches your local branches are based on. But I do not see that happening.

I am using git version 2.7.1.windows.2:

me@ME-PC BLAH64 /c/code/myproj (BRANCH-10)
$ git --version
git version 2.7.1.windows.2

And here is what I get when I issue:

me@ME-PC BLAH64 /c/code/myproj (BRANCH-10)
$ git branch -lvv
* BRANCH-10        xxxxxxx some comment
  BRANCH-7         xxxxxxx some comment
  BRANCH-12        xxxxxxx some comment
  dev-branch       xxxxxxx [origin/master] some comment
  dev-branch-c     xxxxxxx some comment

xxxxxxx above are some strange looking numbers such as 05317bba or similar.

How do I see all mine local branches and the remote branches these local branches are based on? ie how do I know what remote branch is my local BRANCH-12 based on?

So, I am not looking for ALL branches but for my local branches and their respective remote branches.

Answer 1

for my repos, git branch -vv will output something like you said, but in some cases it will output:

$ git branch -lvv
  branch1      3d52a6d some commit message 1
  branch2      36c34dc some commit message 2
  master       f476f37 [origin/master] some commit message 3

this means branch1 and branch2 are not present in remote (in my case they have already been deleted through Bitbucket)
