How do I get a list of all branches in Git?

You simply need to make use of the git branch command on your Terminal/Console.

List local branches:

Example:

git branch

  branch-new-123
  main
  release
  staging
  ticket-2023
* ticket-2023-07
  ticket-2023-08

As you can see, after running the git branch on Terminal I got the list of all branches that I have locally.



Note: The branch that has an * mark before indicates the current branch.

List remote (origin) branches as well:

If you want to display remote branches as well, add a --all flag

Example:

git branch --all

Using the --list flag

If you want to get a list of branches based on a pattern match, make use of the --list flag.

Example:

% git branch --list 'ticket*'
  ticket-2023
* ticket-2023-07
  ticket-2023-08
