How to «git log --branches» except some specific branches?

Question

I want to check my git history graph except for some branch I want to ignore.

I use the following command : git log --graph --date-order --branches --remotes=origin --pretty=format:'%C(auto)%h%Creset %C(auto)%d%Creset'

This returns something like this:

* 8dc1a70  (HEAD -> features/feature1)
* 625c057 
* 087b386 
| * b5ebdf8  (features/feature2)
| * 97ccde9 
| * a0397db 
|/  
| * c392c83  (features/feature3)
|/  
* 7fd1bf0  (origin/master, origin/HEAD, master)
* a449e11
* 0d225ee
* 7d84b63 

Sometimes, the branch features/feature2 contains lot of commit and I would like to ignore this specific branches.

I tried to add --branches --not --branches=feature/feature3 but this also excludeorigin/master and all commit under it (I assume it's because it's an ancestor).

How to check «all git log except some named branches» ?

Answer 1

There's an --exclude option, see its docs

git log --no-walk --oneline --exclude=master --branches

will list all the branch tips except master's.
