recent-branches

A terminal UI for switching between your recent git branches. Built with Bubble Tea.

It lists your most recently active branches in a table, shows the last few commits on whichever branch you highlight, and switches when you hit enter. If you have uncommitted changes, a modal asks whether to commit or stash them first.

Install

Requires Go 1.24+.

make build        # builds to build/recent-branches
# or
go build -o recent-branches

Usage

Run it from inside a git repository:

recent-branches                  # your 10 most recent local branches
recent-branches -n 20            # show more
recent-branches -remote          # include remote branches
recent-branches -author all      # everyone's branches
recent-branches -author a,b      # specific authors

By default it shows only branches you have committed to.
