Git log-How can I show the name of branches?

Question

How can I show the name of branches in the output of git log?

For example with,

 git log --graph --all 

I get a nice overview of the commits but get confused which line is master, and which is my branch for example.

Answer 1

To show the name of the branch in git log you can use decorate option:

git log --graph --all --decorate

I will give the names of commits that are pointed to tags or branches.
