How to find the branch for a commitId in git?

lets say I have a commit Id "0678dd19c498ede50e7714505eb5af3a5494beef" I tried "git log" command, which prints,

$git log --full-history   1c57338cd62ee1a83df57d2c37ce1f3fa17bee17
commit 1c57338cd62ee1a83df57d2c37ce1f3fa17bee17

Is there anyway to print the branch on which this commit is made?

After digging around a bit in the git log manual page, I came up with this, that I think will work:

git log --all --pretty=oneline --source --since=yesterday

That will list all commits on any branch added since yesterday, along with the name of the branch on which the commit lives. You might get some oddities in the presence of merges and/or new branches, and you may want to pass the output to something like awk '{print $2}' | sort -u to get rid of duplicates.

The command you want is

git branch --contains <commit>

Note that the commit may be contained in multiple branches.
