| </h1> | |
| <h2>NAME</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>git-describe - | |
| Show the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit | |
| </p> | |
| </div> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p><em>git-describe</em> [--all] [--tags] [--abbrev=<n>] <committish>…</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>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.</p> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>OPTIONS</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <dl> | |
| <dt> | |
| <committish> | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| The object name of the committish. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| <dt> | |
| --all | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any ref | |
| found in <tt>.git/refs/</tt>. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| <dt> | |
| --tags | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any tag | |
| found in <tt>.git/refs/tags</tt>. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| <dt> | |
| --abbrev=<n> | |
| </dt> | |
| <dd> | |
| <p> | |
| Instead of using the default 8 hexadecimal digits as the | |
| abbreviated object name, use <n> digits. | |
| </p> | |
| </dd> | |
| </dl> | |
| </div> | |
| <h2>EXAMPLES</h2> | |
| <div class="sectionbody"> | |
| <p>With something like git.git current tree, I get:</p> | |
| <div class="literalblock"> | |
| <div class="content"> | |
| <pre><tt>[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe parent | |
| v1.0.4-g2414721b</tt></pre> | |
| </div></div> | |
| <p>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 <tt>2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6</tt>.</p> | |
| <p>Doing a "git-describe" on a tag-name will just show the tag name:</p> | |
| <div class="literalblock"> | |
| <div class="content"> | |
| <pre><tt>[torvalds@g5 git]$ git-describe v1.0.4 | |
| v1.0.4</tt></pre> | |
| </div></div> | |
| <p>With --all, the command can use branch heads as references, so | |
| the output shows the reference path as well:</p> | |
| <div class="literalblock"> | |
| <div class="content"> | |
| <pre><tt>[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe --all --abbrev=4 v1.0.5^2 | |
| tags/v1.0.0-g975b</tt></pre> | |
| </div></div> | |
| <div class="literalblock"> | |
| <div class="content"> | |
| <pre><tt>[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe --all HEAD^ | |
| heads/lt/describe-g975b</tt></pre> | |
| </div></div> | |
