How do I list the branches of a repository in Magit (i.e., the equivalent of git branch --list)? I expected to find this in the branch popup, but it seems to be neither there nor was I able to find it anywhere in the "Inspecting" section of the User's manual. What am I missing?

I would add, that anytime you find yourself wondering what options do I have press ? it will list available options. I know this is not really an answer, but I don't have enough reputation to add a comment. – A_P Oct 18 '18 at 11:49

Use magit-show-refs-popup, bound by default to y.

9Thanks! In my defense, the documentation for this entire popup doesn't mention the word branch even a single time... – Nikratio Sep 18 '16 at 3:13

Is there a way to limit this display to branches that are local, or being tracked (not list each and everything including remote refs?) – Sankalp Sep 22 '17 at 6:25

You can use tab key to open the local branch section and close the remote refs section -- and probably that is sticky or can be made sticky. It still fetches the remote refs which can take some time.
