title: How to know which branch a branch was created from in Git in Visual Studio?
body: <p>I have created a new branch in Visual Studio 2017 from another branch in Git. Say 2.0.0. How do I know sometime in the future that branch 2.0.0 was the branch I created from? I didn't commit anything from the new branch.</p>
  
  <p>I followed all the answers from this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31521199/see-which-branch-a-branch-was-originally-created-from">question</a> and their answers didn't give me what I am expecting. Nothing showed me '2.0.0' or I got errors. Plus some answers were complicated. I am not versed in command line Git commands as I mainly use Git from VS's UI.</p>
  
  <p>I assume this information exists in some Git file in the VS solution. Looking to know which file I can open and it has the answer or use a simple Git command.</p>
