Because I have loads and loads of git branches in my work repos, the git branch command,
with its default settings, is essentially useless to me.
gb is my attempt to hack out a nice looking output of recently active branches in a repo.
Most of this example was cobbled together by reading man pages, trolling git source code,
finding old stack overflow questions, and good old fashioned trial and error.
Hope it helps 🍻
