GIT-BRV(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

git-brv — the lil glow-up that lists your branches sorted by their last commit date 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

git brv [--reverse]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay bestie, picture this: a pretty listing of all your branches, sorted by the date of their last commit. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Newest tea at the top, oldest drama at the bottom. ✨

No cap, it's just git branch serving looks.

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --reverse — flips the whole thing so the most recent branch ends up at the bottom of the list instead of the top. This is highkey useful when you've got a large amount of branches, because the freshest one lands right above your next prompt where your eyeballs already are. And yes, you can make it the default by setting git-extras.brv.reverse to true in your git options. Set it and forget it, queen. 👑

---

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

Just run git brv and let it cook:

$ git brv

2020-01-08 master       origin/master     265b03e Merge pull request #816 from spacewander/git-sed-pathspec

And if you want those rows in reverse order, hit it with git brv --reverse:
