This command is used to display the commit ancestry of the selected branch or commit in a graphical representation.
Let's break down the command:
git show-branch: This is the main command for displaying the commit ancestry in a visual form.--sha1-name: This option is used to display the SHA-1 hashes of each commit alongside their branch/remote tracking branch names in parentheses. It helps to identify each commit uniquely.--current: This option is used to highlight the branch or commit that is being displayed. It adds asterisks (*) to the labels of the selected branch or commit.${select}: This is a placeholder that represents the branch or commit that you want to display the ancestry for. You need to replace${select}with the name of the branch or the SHA-1 hash of the commit you want to view.
By running this command with the appropriate branch or commit name, you will obtain a graphical representation showing the commit ancestry of the selected branch or commit. It helps you visualize the relationships among branches, merges, and commits.
