Hi all, I'm interested in putting in some time and effort into improving the output of "git branch".
What I'm thinking is an output like this: $ git branch 2014-12-17 * (detached from origin/master) deaba04 Do stuff 2014-12-15 john.ta/add_timing_info 6edbcfa Add timing stuff 2014-12-14 master 8537316 [origin/master: ahead 1, behind 16] Some stuff 2014-12-12 john.ta/new_reduce_memory 99d84db Reintroduce: memory stuff 2014-12-05 john.ta/bugfixes e15c95e Add stuff 2014-12-03 john.ta/container e9fd4e5 This branch is a test bed for containers (These columns are supposed to be all aligned nicely..) So, features: 1. Show the date of the last commit 2. Sort by date. Most recently used branches at the top 3. Show the branch name, including your current "branch", with a * to indicate that it's checked out. 4. Show the sha 5. Show the branch DESCRIPTION - and if that's not available, show the short-line of the most recent commit. There is also a small amount of color here that I can't paste here, to follow the coloring in the current git branch. Before I start making patches etc, what do people think? Would I have a chance of getting this in? Should I change some aspects etc?
