Branch list

Learn the local and remote branch list with git branch.

View the Branch List

Use git branch to see which local branches exist in a repository. The branch marked with an asterisk is the one you are currently working on.

git branch

Use the -r option to list remote branches, or -a to see both local and remote branches.

View Local and Remote Branches Together

The git branch -a command displays local branches and known remote branches in the same list. Remote branches usually appear with the remotes/origin/ prefix.

git branch -a

For example, remotes/origin/main represents the main branch on the origin remote. This list helps you compare branches across environments.

Exercise List All Branches

Write the command that lists local and remote branches together. Then print a message indicating that listing is complete.
