A Linux administrator is working within a local Git repository that tracks a remote repository. To get a comprehensive overview of all development work, the administrator needs to list all local and remote-tracking branches. Which command will accomplish this?
The correct command is git branch -a. The -a (or --all) flag tells Git to list both the local branches and the remote-tracking branches, providing a complete view of all lines of development in the repository.
git branch by itself only lists the local branches.
git branch -r only lists the remote-tracking branches.
git show-branch is used to show the commit ancestry graph, providing a more detailed and complex view rather than a simple list of branch names.
