find out who created a branch on a remote git repository

Question

I'm pruning some branches off of a git remote.

How can I find out who created a branch on a remote git repository?

Maybe there is something similar to git branch -r --show-user?

Answer 1

Too much theory in previous answers.

Answer is pretty simple:

git for-each-ref --format='%(committerdate) %09 %(authorname) %09 %(refname)' | sort
