NAME¶
git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revsSYNOPSIS¶
git name-rev [--tags] [--refs=<pattern>] ( --all | --stdin | <committish>... )
DESCRIPTION¶
Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any format parsable by git rev-parse.OPTIONS¶
--tagsDo not use branch names, but only tags to name
the commits
--refs=<pattern>
Only use refs whose names match a given shell
pattern.
--all
List all commits reachable from all refs
--stdin
Read from stdin, append
"(<rev_name>)" to all sha1’s of nameable commits, and
pass to stdout
--name-only
Instead of printing both the SHA-1 and the
name, print only the name. If given with --tags the usual tag prefix of
"tags/" is also omitted from the name, matching the output of
git-describe more closely.
--no-undefined
Die with error code != 0 when a reference is
undefined, instead of printing undefined.
--always
Show uniquely abbreviated commit object as
fallback.
EXAMPLE¶
Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody wrote you about that fantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a. Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but not the context.% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0.99~940
