  "github_readme_excerpt": "# `git when-merged`\n\n`git when-merged` helps you figure out when and why a commit was merged into a branch.\n\nIf you use standard Git workflows, then you create a feature branch for each feature that you are working on. When the feature is complete, you merge it into your `master` branch. You might even have sub-feature branches that are merged into a feature branch before the latter is merged.\n\nIn such a workflow, the first-parent history of `master` consists mainly of merges of feature branches into the mainline. `git when-merged` can be used to ask, \"When (and why) was commit C merged into the current branch?\" The simplest way to use it is\n\n```ShellSession\n$ git when-merged 87c248f\nrefs/heads/master                      50f577451448a407ee8e78ed62aa09d209c91652\n```\n\nThis command looks along the first-parent history of the current branch to find the merge commit that first brought commit `87c248f` into the branch\u0027s history. The guilty merge commit in this case is `50f5774`. Add the `-l` option to see the log for that merge, which will hopefully explain what feature was being merged and by whom:\n\n```ShellSession\n$ git when-merged -l 87c248f\nrefs/heads/master                      50f577451448a407ee8e78ed62aa09d209c91652\ncommit 50f577451448a407ee8e78ed62aa09d209c91652 (github/master, master)\nMerge: f79a45d 87c248f\nAuthor: Michael Haggerty \u003cmhagger@alum.mit.edu\u003e\nDate:   Mon Jul 11 07:55:19 2016 +0200\n\n    Merge pull request #9 from mhagger/recursive-option\n\n    Add a `--recursive`/`-r` option\n```\n\nThere are many more options; see below.\n\n\n## Installation\n\n**_Note: If you are using 2.6 \u003c= Python \u003c= 3.6, you MUST use Option 3 or 4._**\n\n\u003cdetails open\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOption 1: Install as a stand-alone command line tool.\u003c/h3\u003e\u003c/summary\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003e pipx is a tool to help you install and run end-user applications written in Python.\n\n1.
