branches are listed; the current branch will be highlighted in green and
marked with an asterisk. Any branches checked out in linked worktrees will
be highlighted in cyan and marked with a plus sign. Option <code>-r</code> causes the
remote-tracking branches to be listed,
and option <code>-a</code> shows both local and remote branches.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If a <code><pattern></code>
is given, it is used as a shell wildcard to restrict the output to
matching branches. If multiple patterns are given, a branch is shown if
it matches any of the patterns.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that when providing a
<code><pattern></code>, you must use <code>--list</code>; otherwise the command may be interpreted
as branch creation.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With <code>--contains</code>, shows only the branches that contain the named commit
(in other words, the branches whose tip commits are descendants of the
named commit), <code>--no-contains</code> inverts it. With <code>--merged</code>, only branches
merged into the named commit (i.e. the branches whose tip commits are
reachable from the named commit) will be listed. With <code>--no-merged</code> only
branches not merged into the named commit will be listed. If the <commit>
argument is missing it defaults to <code>HEAD</code> (i.e. the tip of the current
branch).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The command’s second form creates a new branch head named <branchname>
which points to the current <code>HEAD</code>, or <start-point> if given. As a
special case, for <start-point>, you may use <code>"A...B"</code> as a shortcut for
the merge base of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code> if there is exactly one merge base. You
can leave out at most one of <code>A</code> and <code>B</code>, in which case it defaults to
<code>HEAD</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that this will create the new branch, but it will not switch the
working tree to it; use "git switch <newbranch>" to switch to the
new branch.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When a local branch is started off a remote-tracking branch, Git sets up the
branch (specifically the <code>branch.<name>.remote</code> and <code>branch.<name>.merge</code>
configuration entries) so that <em>git pull</em> will appropriately merge from
the remote-tracking branch. This behavior may be changed via the global
<code>branch.autoSetupMerge</code> configuration flag. That setting can be
overridden by using the <code>--track</code> and <code>--no-track</code> options, and
changed later using <code>git branch --set-upstream-to</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With a <code>-m</code> or <code>-M</code> option, <oldbranch> will be renamed to <newbranch>.
If <oldbranch> had a corresponding reflog, it is renamed to match
<newbranch>, and a reflog entry is created to remember the branch
renaming. If <newbranch> exists, -M must be used to force the rename
to happen.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>-c</code> and <code>-C</code> options have the exact same semantics as <code>-m</code> and
<code>-M</code>, except instead of the branch being renamed, it will be copied to a
new name, along with its config and reflog.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>With a <code>-d</code> or <code>-D</code> option, <code><branchname></code> will be deleted. You may
specify more than one branch for deletion. If the branch currently
has a reflog then the reflog will also be deleted.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Use <code>-r</code> together with <code>-d</code> to delete remote-tracking branches. Note, that it
only makes sense to delete remote-tracking branches if they no longer exist
in the remote repository or if <em>git fetch</em> was configured not to fetch
them again. See also the <em>prune</em> subcommand of <a href="git-remote.html">git-remote(1)</a> for a
way to clean up all obsolete remote-tracking branches.</p></div>

<div class="paragraph"><p>If you are creating a branch that you want to switch to immediately,
it is easier to use the "git switch" command with its <code>-c</code> option to
do the same thing with a single command.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The options <code>--contains</code>, <code>--no-contains</code>, <code>--merged</code> and <code>--no-merged</code>
serve four related but different purposes:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>--contains <commit></code> is used to find all branches which will need
special attention if <commit> were to be rebased or amended, since those
branches contain the specified <commit>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>--no-contains <commit></code> is the inverse of that, i.e. branches that don’t
contain the specified <commit>.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>--merged</code> is used to find all branches which can be safely deleted,
since those branches are fully contained by HEAD.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<code>--no-merged</code> is used to find branches which are candidates for merging
into HEAD, since those branches are not fully contained by HEAD.
</p>
</li>
</ul></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When combining multiple <code>--contains</code> and <code>--no-contains</code> filters, only
references that contain at least one of the <code>--contains</code> commits and
contain none of the <code>--no-contains</code> commits are shown.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When combining multiple <code>--merged</code> and <code>--no-merged</code> filters, only
references that are reachable from at least one of the <code>--merged</code>
commits and from none of the <code>--no-merged</code> commits are shown.</p></div>
