Git Branches Sort By Date

List local git branches in the order of last activity date.

for k in `git branch | sed s/^..//`; do echo -e `git log -1 --pretty=format:"%Cgreen%ci %Cblue%cr%Creset" "$k"`\\t"$k"; done | sort

To reverse the order add -r switch at the end.

Put this command in git alias (~/.gitconfig):

[alias]
    bs = "!f() { for k in $(git branch | sed s/^..//); do echo $(git log -1 --pretty=format:'%Cblue%ci %Cgreen%cr%Creset' ${k})\t${k}; done;}; f | sort ${1}"
    bsr = "!f() { for k in $(git branch -r | sed s/^..//); do echo $(git log -1 --pretty=format:'%Cblue%ci %Cgreen%cr%Creset' ${k})\t${k}; done;}; f | sort ${1}"

Usage: List local branches

$ git bs
