I have made a new feature branch but I have forgotten form where did I branch this feature branch. Now the feature is complete but I don't know in which branch I have to merge Who do I find the branch that I have branched from?

I believe you can use gitk or git-log to better visualize your commits history.

Like this:

gitk --all

or 

git log --graph --decorate

You can a list of child branches by typing: git branch --contains

Only if you don't have many branches that could be the parent branch, I think it could be useful
