'Git branch description

I set just a simple description for my local branch and now I'd like to see it. How one can see description for a branch set by issuing git branch --edit-description?

git git-branch

It is possible to show the branch descriptions by interrogating the repos config settings, which is where the description is stored.

I have two aliases defined, one shows all branches that have descriptions, and the second shows the description of the current HEAD branch

    brshow = config --get-regexp 'branch.*.description'
    brshow1 = !git config --get "branch.$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD).description"
