Github: Show branches which contain a commit

Question

If you look at a commit via github web GUI for example: b2d273a2fdc83e9b1d270895e253b55a813163d9

I know how I can list all branches which contain this commit on the command line:

git branch --contains <commit>

Is there a way to do this (list branches containing this commit) via the web GUI of github?

There's a trick you could probably use, esp. for your use-case of checking whether a fix / commit is in a release (and thus was merged via a PR in a proper workflow): You can search for a commit's SHA1 on the "Pull requests" tab in the "Filters" field, just paste the SHA1 there. If there is an open or closed PR that contains that SHA1, it will show up in the search results.
