Raw

gbr.txt

alias gbr='git for-each-ref --sort="-authordate:iso8601" --format=" %(color:green)%(authordate:iso8601)%09%(color:white)%(refname:short)" refs/heads'

git has a built-in alias support so you don't need to use your shell's one (http://githowto.com/aliases) but then you need to write something like git br or whatever you like.

Yes, indeed. In this case I opted for brevity :)

The corresponding git alias (in ~/.gitconfig) would be

[alias]
   br = for-each-ref --sort='-authordate:iso8601' --format=' %(color:green)%(authordate:iso8601)%09%(color:white)%(refname:short)' refs/heads

By the way:
alias g=git
;)
