`--no-color`::
	Turn off branch colors, even when the configuration file gives the
	default to color output.
	Same as `--color=never`.

`-i`::
`--ignore-case`::
	Sorting and filtering branches are case insensitive.

`--omit-empty`::
	Do not print a newline after formatted refs where the format expands
	to the empty string.

`--column[=<options>]`::
`--no-column`::
	Display branch listing in columns. See configuration variable
	`column.branch` for option syntax. `--column` and `--no-column`
	without options are equivalent to `always` and `never` respectively.
+
This option is only applicable in non-verbose mode.

`--sort=<key>`::
	Sort based on _<key>_. Prefix `-` to sort in descending
	order of the value. You may use the `--sort=<key>` option
	multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
	key. The keys supported are the same as those in linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1].
	Sort order defaults to the value configured for the
	`branch.sort` variable if it exists, or to sorting based on the
	full refname (including `refs/...` prefix). This lists
	detached `HEAD` (if present) first, then local branches and
	finally remote-tracking branches. See linkgit:git-config[1].

`-r`::
`--remotes`::
	List or delete (if used with `-d`) the remote-tracking branches.
	Combine with `--list` to match the optional pattern(s).

`-a`::
`--all`::
	List both remote-tracking branches and local branches.
	Combine with `--list` to match optional pattern(s).

`-l`::
`--list`::
	List branches.  With optional `<pattern>...`, e.g. `git
	branch --list 'maint-*'`, list only the branches that match
	the pattern(s).

`--show-current`::
	Print the name of the current branch. In detached `HEAD` state,
	nothing is printed.

`-v`::
`-vv`::
`--verbose`::
	When in list mode,
	show sha1 and commit subject line for each head, along with
	relationship to upstream branch (if any). If given twice, print
	the path of the linked worktree (if any) and the name of the upstream
	branch, as well (see also `git remote show <remote>`).  Note that the
	current worktree's `HEAD` will not have its path printed (it will always
	be your current directory).

`-q`::
`--quiet`::
	Be more quiet when creating or deleting a branch, suppressing
	non-error messages.

`--abbrev=<n>`::
	In the verbose listing that show the commit object name,
	show the shortest prefix that is at least _<n>_ hexdigits
	long that uniquely refers the object.
	The default value is 7 and can be overridden by the `core.abbrev`
	config option.

`--no-abbrev`::
	Display the full sha1s in the output listing rather than abbreviating them.

`-t`::
`--track[=(direct|inherit)]`::
	When creating a new branch, set up `branch.<name>.remote` and
	`branch.<name>.merge` configuration entries to set "upstream" tracking
	configuration for the new branch. This
	configuration will tell git to show the relationship between the
	two branches in `git status` and `git branch -v`. Furthermore,
	it directs `git pull` without arguments to pull from the
	upstream when the new branch is checked out.
+
The exact upstream branch is chosen depending on the optional argument:
`-t`, `--track`, or `--track=direct` means to use the start-point branch
itself as the upstream; `--track=inherit` means to copy the upstream
configuration of the start-point branch.
+
The `branch.autoSetupMerge` configuration variable specifies how `git switch`,
`git checkout` and `git branch` should behave when neither `--track` nor
`--no-track` are specified:
+
The default option, `true`, behaves as though `--track=direct`
were given whenever the start-point is a remote-tracking branch.
`false` behaves as if `--no-track` were given. `always` behaves as though
`--track=direct` were given. `inherit` behaves as though `--track=inherit`
were given. `simple` behaves as though `--track=direct` were given only when
the _<start-point>_ is a remote-tracking branch and the new branch has the same
name as the remote branch.
