NAME

git-merge-base - Find as good common ancestors as possible for a merge

SYNOPSIS

git merge-base [--all] <commit> <commit>

DESCRIPTION

git-merge-base finds as good a common ancestor as possible between the two commits. That is, given two commits A and B, git merge-base A B will output a commit which is reachable from both A and B through the parent relationship.

Given a selection of equally good common ancestors it should not be relied on to decide in any particular way.

The git-merge-base algorithm is still in flux - use the source...

OPTIONS

--all

Output all common ancestors for the two commits instead of just one.
