4.2: Branch Analyses

Analyze branches

Other Information:

Analyze Branches -- Many people love Git because of its amazing branching and merging ability. This often leads to having many more branches than in most other version control systems, since they're so easy to work with. This can cause confusion in knowing what work is in what branch or the status of your various branches. GitHub addresses this problem with a unique visualization of your branches in our Branch Listing page. Here we list out each of your branches with a graphical representation of how ahead or behind each branch is relative to your currently selected branch. This means you can quickly see which branches have been recently worked on and how many unique commits are on them. If you want to see exactly what the total change is, you can click on the 'Compare' button next to any branch.
