How to list most recent 10 remote branches in git

Question

I want to get most recent 10 remote branches using git. I know I can use git branch -r --sort=-committerdate to get all remote branches sorted by committerdate. But I want to know, how I can select the most 10 recent remote branches ?

Answer 1

You could pipe it to head:

git branch -r --sort=-committerdate | head -n 10
