Tip: order git branches by last commit age

A great tool for git users

To try this out on your own, put this in your terminal:

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

or create an alias for it in your ~/.bash_profile

alias git-branch-list='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'
