Orphan Commits

• rjmunro 3y ago
  `git fsck --no-reflog` will show you orphan commits. Search for "dangling commit" in the output. It will take a while to run on larger repositories. If you have gitk installed, this command will show a complete git tree, including dangling commits / branches: gitk --all $( git fsck --no-reflog | awk '/dangling commit/ {print $3}' ) It may take a while to run. A faster command is gitk --reflog which will use the reflog to find recent dangling commits. It's a great way to get a branch back if you have rebased or deleted it.
