How to find out which branch or commit a branch was born from

Question

linux

The github service has the ability to see the "tree" of the repository with the names of all the branches and the commits from which the branches began to

grow or the commit from which the current branch started growing?

Answer 1

This is perhaps the biggest flaw in the git architecture, but in general it's impossible.

Answer 2

git log --graph
git merge-base your_branch master

Answer 3

It is convenient for me to do this in the gitk tool.
1. Go to the desired branch.
2. Find your first commit, its Parent ( joxi.ru/p279a76IovG8ar) and there is a branch from which there was a branch.
