How to check if a commit has been merged to my current branch - somewhere in time?

Question

I have a random feature/XXXXXXX branch that has some commits and naturally the "develop" branch where those features are eventually merged.

How do I check if a certain old commit (e.g. commit ab123456 from branch feature/user-registration) has been somehow brought/merged to my currently active branch (e.g. develop)? Either by directly merging the feature branch to develop or by going up/merged through some other intermediary branch.

Through git commands or through SourceTree UI, both ways are equally suitable for me.

Solution

You can ask git directly, which (local) branches contain your commit, like so:

git branch --contains ab123456

use the "-r" option to query for remote branches, like so:

git branch -r --contains ab123456

I now see that Sulli also provides the same answer in this thread.
