How to get all the name of the branch merged into develop branch after a particular date?

Question

I am working in a team of 18 developers in git flow workflow. Each developer is working on their feature branch which is taken from develop branch. we are merging the feature branch back to develop when it passes the tests, at the time of release we take a release branch from develop.

Is there a way to know how many branch are merged into develop branch from a particular date to the date release branch is created?

Answer 1

I got it you might have to give the scope of current release. This kind of issue I also face when the team size is quite big:

just checkout develop branch and run the command:

git log --after="2018-08-02" --merges --name-only --decorate --first-parent --pretty=format:%s

This will give all the branch merged into develop form date 2018-08-02

hope this helps!!

In general, git doesn't keep information about which branches are merged into another branch, assuming you deleted the branches in question from the machine.

Looks like you can do something like this:

git log --oneline REV... | grep "Merge branch"
