Re: How do I get a list of tracking branches

Hi,

I know I can go and look at the config file and get this info but is
there a simple command that shows which local branches are tracking
remote branches? It seems like a very obvious thing to want to know
but I can't find it. 'branch -av' even shows 'n behind' and/or 'n
ahead' but not *what* it is behind or ahead.

The latter info you get with git branch -vv.

But you said you wanted to know which local branches have upstreams. Or
do you want to know which local branches have a specific remote as upstream?
