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

git log -2 --pretty=format:'%d' --abbrev-commit | tail -n 1 | sed 's/\s(//g; s/,/\n/g';

(origin/parent-name, parent-name)

git log -2 --pretty=format:'%d' --abbrev-commit | tail -n 1 | sed 's/\s(//g; s/,/\n/g';

origin/parent-name

git log -2 --pretty=format:'%d' --abbrev-commit | tail -n 1 | sed 's/(.*,//g; s/)//';

parent-name
