Hello, Thank you both for your answers.

I was wondering if exists a bash/cli command to find out from with branch a created the new branch. Usually we can see it with graph or something like in this answers https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1057564/pretty-git-branch-graphs, nand I'd like to know if there is a command through bash to check directly "you created branch test from branch release".

Thanks in advance for your help, Regards
