I came across Carolyn Van Slyck's article git wip: What the heck was I just doing?. She shared an excellent git alias (git wip) that shows all available branches and how long their last commit is ago.
[alias]
wip = for-each-ref --sort='authordate:iso8601' --format=' %(color:green)%(authordate:relative)%09%(color:white)%(refname:short)' refs/heads
I tweaked it a bit to include the commit message of the last commit and changed it to zup, too.
[alias]
zup = for-each-ref --sort='authordate:iso8601' --format='%(color:green)%(authordate:relative)%09%(color:white)%(refname:short) / %(contents:subject)' refs/heads
That's the result. 👇
Love it! Thanks, Carolyn!
