git log with flags you can see parent branch or branch topology.

$ git log --oneline --decorate --all --graph

Possibly duplicate of this

Any branch is just a pointer to specific commit. When you clone any repository you get a list of "remote" branches as a list of pointers with prefix original/. You can't really know who created this branches.

When you create a new local branch and push it to remote repository, you actually create a new pointer there. Since now any person who clones the repository will get a list of "remote" branches including your branch.
