How can I filter out certain branches from git log?

Question

I want to filter out certain branches (such as those matching origin/build_* for example) from my git log.

I've looked high and low and come across some great resources (this one for example) but I still can't figure out how to do this.

From the documentation it looks like I should be able to do something like:

git log --exclude=origin/build_* --branches

but it doesn't work.

Answer 1

What I needed was to filter on remotes, not branches:

--exclude=origin/build_* --remotes

Works great!
