How to know whether a commit merged from another branch with gitlab api? Or with git command? Thanks!

Git exposes this information with git log command. You are able to filter this further by only looking for specifically merge commits with --merges

    git log --merges

Try the above command with the branch you are interested in. You should be able to see the history of where the changes were merged from.

This answer by @Jefromi shows two ways that might be what you are looking for:

Find branches the commit is on:

git branch --contains <commit>

Find a subsequent merge commit:

git log --merges <commit>..

And this other one by @gawi shows a way to list branches not yet merged in a specific branch:

List branches with commits not merged into master:

git branch --no-merged master
