How can I get list of branches emerging from any branch in git?

Question

How can I get list of branches emerging from any branch in git ?

Also what is the difference between fetch and pull command in git ?

Answer 1

git fetch
git checkout <branch of interest>
git log --children <commit>

will print a list of descendant commits for a given one which partially answers your question.

pull does fetch and attempts to merge

fetch does not merge
