Is there a way in git to find whether a file is present in multiple branches or not? If so list the branch names. Please provide help on this.

You can try to run in each branch this command:

git ls-files | grep YOUR FILE

And see if it appears.

Or you can do a more elaborated script like this:

for i in $(git branch | sed 's/\*//'); do git checkout $i; git ls-files | grep -q YOURFILE ; if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then echo "File found in branch: $i"; fi; done

Do a loop for each branch and do the same that the previous command.
