Pretend I branched from my master branch to a topic branch, and then I did a few commits on my topic branch. Is there a command that tells me the commit hash on the master branch that my topic branch originated from?
Ideally, I wouldn't have to know how many commits I've made ( trying to avoid HEAD^5 ).
I've googled and SO'd around and can't seem to land on the answer. Thanks!
use git merge-base master your-branch to find the best common ancestor between two branches (usually the branching point).
