Before you perform actions on your branches in your Git repository, it’s important to know which branch you’re targeting. If you aren’t using a Git GUI, like GitKraken, to visualize your work, it’s likely you won’t be able to remember the names of each local branch, especially in a large Git repository.

To view a list of your local Git branches, you can run

git branch

at any point during your workflow.

To view a list of your remote Git branches, you can run

git branch -r

when working with remote branches in your Git repository.
