How do you show the reflog for a specific branch?

In Git, the reflog stores the reference logs for the various branches and allows you to view the history of changes made to your references (such as branches). To show the reflog for a specific branch, you can use the following command in your terminal:
git reflog show <branch-name>
Replace <branch-name> with the actual name of the branch you want to inspect. For example, if you want to see the reflog for a branch named feature-branch, you would run:
git reflog show feature-branch
If you just want to see the reflog for the current checked-out branch, you can simply use:
git reflog
This will display the reflog entries for whatever branch is currently active. Keep in mind that the reflog is specific to your local repository, so you won't be able to see reflog entries from other clones of the repository.
