zsh grep pattern matching for ^ not working

For git, I have many branches that I start off with temp, so to filter all the temporary branches, I tried:

git branch | grep "^temp"

However, I am not getting any result.

If I just run git branch, I get the following:

temp/github-fix
temp/mismatches
test/temp

I want to just match the first two, but not the last one.

Solution

  • You can use --list followed by a pattern to list the branches you want.

    git branch --list 'temp*'
