下面是Greg Hewgill提到的git分支命令的一个可能实现:

#!/usr/bin/perl

sub clean {
    map { s/^[\s\*]*\s// } @_;
    map { s/\s*$// } @_;
    return @_;
}

sub descr {
    $_ = `git config branch.@_.description`;
    s/\s*$//;
    return $_;
};
sub indent {
    $_ = shift;
    s/^/      /mg;
    return $_;
};

my @branches = clean `git branch --color=never --list`;
my %merged = map { $_ => 1 } clean `git branch --color=never --merged`;

for my $branch (@branches) {
    my $asis = `git branch --list --color=always $branch`;
    $asis =~ s/\s*$//;
    print "  $asis";
    print " \033[33m(merged)\033[0m" if ($merged{$branch} and $branch ne "master");
    print "\n";

    print indent descr $branch;
    print "\n";
    print "\n";
}

下面是Greg Hewgill提到的git分支命令的一个可能实现:

#!/usr/bin/perl

sub clean {
    map { s/^[\s\*]*\s// } @_;
    map { s/\s*$// } @_;
    return @_;
}

sub descr {
    $_ = `git config branch.@_.description`;
    s/\s*$//;
    return $_;
};
sub indent {
    $_ = shift;
    s/^/      /mg;
    return $_;
};

my @branches = clean `git branch --color=never --list`;
my %merged = map { $_ => 1 } clean `git branch --color=never --merged`;

for my $branch (@branches) {
    my $asis = `git branch --list --color=always $branch`;
    $asis =~ s/\s*$//;
    print "  $asis";
    print " \033[33m(merged)\033[0m" if ($merged{$branch} and $branch ne "master");
    print "\n";

    print indent descr $branch;
    print "\n";
    print "\n";
}

Use

git branch --list -v

显示上游分支:

git branch --list -vv

添加-r只显示远程或-a显示远程和本地。

git config --global --add alias.about '!describe() { git config branch."$1".description; }; describe'

命令将定义全局选项别名。About as shell表达式。如果在存储库中运行git about <branch>，将显示分支的描述。

下面是一个git别名，它可以让你设置和读取当前分支的描述:

git config --global --add alias.about '!describe() { msg="$1"; git config branch."$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)".description ${msg:+"$msg"}; }; describe'

使用/例子:

(develop) $ git about
(develop) $ git about message
(develop) $ git about
message
(develop) $ git about "this is a new message"
(develop) $ git about
this is a new message
(develop) $ git checkout -b test_branch
Switched to a new branch 'test_branch'
(test_branch) $ git about
(test_branch) $ git about "this is the test branch"
(test_branch) $ git about
this is the test branch
(test_branch) $ git checkout -
Switched to branch 'develop'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/develop'.
(develop) $ git about
this is a new message

特别感谢@Felicio的回答，让我开始了。

你可以使用

git config --get-regexp "branch.*.description"
