How to find the nearest parent of a Git branch?

Question

Let\'s say I have the following local repository with a commit tree like this:

master --> a
            \\
             \\
      develop c --> d
               


        

Answer 1

An alternative: git rev-list master | grep "$(git rev-list HEAD)" | head -1

Get the last commit that it's both my branch and master (or whatever branch you want to specify)
