git-describe(1) |
|
=============== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-describe - Show the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-describe' [--all] [--tags] [--abbrev=<n>] <committish>... |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a |
|
commit, and if the commit itself is pointed at by the tag, shows |
|
the tag. Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with abbreviated |
|
object name of the commit. |
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
<committish>:: |
|
The object name of the committish. |
|
|
|
--all:: |
|
Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any ref |
|
found in `.git/refs/`. |
|
|
|
--tags:: |
|
Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any tag |
|
found in `.git/refs/tags`. |
|
|
|
--abbrev=<n>:: |
|
Instead of using the default 8 hexadecimal digits as the |
|
abbreviated object name, use <n> digits. |
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES |
|
-------- |
|
|
|
With something like git.git current tree, I get: |
|
|
|
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent |
|
v1.0.4-g2414721b |
|
|
|
i.e. the current head of my "parent" branch is based on v1.0.4, |
|
but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the |
|
git hash of the thing to the end: "-g" + 8-char shorthand for |
|
the commit `2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6`. |
|
|
|
Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the tag name: |
|
|
|
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 |
|
v1.0.4 |
|
|
|
With --all, the command can use branch heads as references, so |
|
the output shows the reference path as well: |
|
|
|
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe --all --abbrev=4 v1.0.5^2 |
|
tags/v1.0.0-g975b |
|
|
|
[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe --all HEAD^ |
|
heads/lt/describe-g975b |
