How could i know if it is a branch of already exited branch ? (explanation inside)

How could I know if the branch is a branch of branch. To demonstrate, in this course two branches have been made 1) foo_feature 2)bar_feature

what if I make a the bar_feature while I am inside the foo_feature that means I have a branch of branch. but when i type " git branch" to list out all the exited branches it does not show that

I know the question is a little bit confusing. my apologies I did my best to explain it.

Chet Bramble is completly correct.

$git show-branch

It displays the whole family tree, it uses indentation to signify direct descendants.
