You have been given a Git repository named https://github.com/labex-labs/git-playground. Your task is to find all branches that contain a hash with the commit message "Added file2.txt".

1. Change into the repository directory:

cd git-playground

2. Use the git branch --contains command to find all branches that contain a hash with the commit message "Added file2.txt":

git branch --contains d22f46b

The output should be:

* master
new-branch
new-branch-1
new-branch-2

Summary

In this lab, you learned how to find all the branches containing a specific commit using the git branch --contains command. This is a useful skill to have when working with Git repositories that have multiple branches.
