# Check What Branches Contain A Specific Commit
|
||
|
||
The `git branch` command comes with a `--contains` flag that can tell me what
|
||
local branches contain a specific commit based on the SHA of that commit.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
❯ git branch --contains a73d9173c2399069fa202fe65da0a8927814fd84
|
||
* main
|
||
jb/migrate-to-basedpyright
|
||
jb/migrate-date-files-to-repository-pattern
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
I am currently on the `main` branch which is why it shows the `*` next to that
|
||
one. This SHA also appears on those other two branches.
|
||
|
||
This command could be useful in a variety of situations.
|
||
|
||
1. If I'm looking at a commit on a branch and I cannot remember if it has been
|
||
integrated upstream yet. This check could tell me (unless commit squashing
|
||
happens).
|
||
2. If I'm on `main`, as I was above, and I am trying to remember what branch
|
||
introduced a commit, this can help with that sleuthing. This assumes I don't
|
||
delete branches.
|
||
3. Maybe I've just run a `git bisect` to track down a bad commit and I want to
|
||
see what are all the local branches that are impacted.
|
||
|
||
See `man git-branch` for more details.
