How to use Git Aliases In GIT
For convenience, you can create a Git alias to avoid typing long commands repeatedly. Here’s how you can add an alias to your Git configuration:
Open your .gitconfig file and add the following lines under the [alias] section:
[alias]
recent-branches = "!git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate refs/heads/
--format='%(committerdate:iso8601) %(refname:short)'"
Now, you can simply run git recent-branches to get the list of branches ordered by the most recent commit.

This can be useful for understanding the current state of development and prioritizing which branches need attention. This article will guide you through the steps to achieve this using Git commands.
