I want to look at a commit by ID. For instance, I want to know the code that got committed for that ID, something like:
git log <commit_id> And this would display the committed code and commit message that corresponds to this ID.

git show <commit_id> is the droid you are looking for, probably.

How can I find the name of the branch in which is the commit I'm looking for? I can see just commit ID, Author, Date and diff of the commit. But I can't find the name of the branch where the commit can be found.

@Vojta: See stackoverflow.com/questions/2706797/… otherwise known as:
git branch --contains <commit>

Actually you need to put two dashes after the commit id:
git show XXXX -- It is required to differentiate between a file and a commit ID.

This also shows the patch. So you have to to do
git show <commit_id> --no-patch if you want to see the same look as git log@SethRobertson's solution works for me but it shows a diff. I wanted to see it exactly like git log shows it. So add --no-patch:
git show <commit_id> --no-patch I learned this from - https://stackoverflow.com/a/31448684/1828637

If you don't want to enter the interactive, vim-like UI and only want "raw" output:
--oneline --no-patch
-pcan be useful here too.
