List of branches a commit appears on

Question

Using the GitHub API (v3) I\'d like to figure out which branches a commit appears on. I didn\'t find a way to directly query this, either through repo commits or the commit

Answer 1

I haven't checked if this is directly supported by the GitHub API, but this is trivial to do using plain Git:

git branch --all --contains 

That will list all branches (local and remote) in a local repository that contain the given commit.
