Grep for git branches starting with string

I have the following branches:

dependabot/npm_and_yarn/types/jest-28.1.3
dependabot/pip/django-environ-0.9.0
test-dependabot/test

I want to grep the first two branches:

dependabot/npm_and_yarn/types/jest-28.1.3
dependabot/pip/django-environ-0.9.0

I’ve tried the following solutions but no luck:

• git branch | grep dependabot/ – grabs all 3 branches
• git branch | grep ^dependabot/ – grabs no branches

What is the correct grep regex for this use case? The string start character ^ doesn’t seem to be working correctly here?

>Solution :

Check with a leading space before your branch name (you can have a leading * if it is the current branch)

git branch|grep "\s\+dependabot/"

More formal a line starting with an optional * then one or several spaces before your branch name

git branch|grep "^\*\?\s\+dependabot/"
