It was just like, in what context? To print a log? To rebase something? "get" is not a command exactly. That's it.

Some of it is also what a "branch" means to different people can mean different things: https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/11/23/branches-intuition-reality/

But yeah, as others have said, not really possible in a general way, sadly.
