git-show-branch: Compare all remote tracking branches.

$ git show-branch --remotes

try on your machine

The git show-branch --remotes command is used to display the relationships between branches in your remote repository.

When you run this command, Git will show you the commit history of each branch within the remote repository, highlighting the commit points where the branches diverged or merged. It provides a graphical representation of the commit history, showing the commits and their connections in a compact form.

The information displayed by git show-branch --remotes includes the names of the branches, the commit messages associated with each branch's commits, and the commit hash of each branch.

This command is particularly useful when working with remote repositories that have multiple branches, as it allows you to visualize the commit history and understand the relationships between the branches. It can help you identify where different branches were merged or diverged, allowing you to track changes and understand the development history of a remote repository.
