How can I know if a branch has been already merged into master?

Question

I have a git repository with multiple branches.

How can I know which branches are already merged into the master branch?

Answer

git branch --merged master lists branches merged into master

git branch --merged lists branches merged into HEAD (i.e. tip of current branch)

git branch --no-merged lists branches that have not been merged

By default this applies to only the local branches. The -a flag will show both local and remote branches, and the -r flag shows only the remote branches.
