I love hopping between branches with
git checkout -
but sometimes I work with more than two branches, and I forget the exact naming of the branch.
To find out the right name, I enter git branch and it outputs branches alphabetically
sorted by default. This is never what I'm looking for, since I'm only interested
in the branch that I was recently on.
Well, there's an option to sort them by the date of last commit on them:
git branch --sort=-committerdate
It's a good idea to use this as a default sort order:
git config --global branch.sort -committerdate
