NAMEgit-name-rev − Find symbolic names for given revs

SYNOPSISgit name−rev [−−tags] [−−refs=<pattern>] ( −−all | −−stdin | <commit−ish>​...‌ )

DESCRIPTIONFinds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any format parsable by git rev−parse​.

OPTIONS−−tags Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits −−refs=<pattern> Only use refs whose names match a given shell pattern​. The pattern can be one of branch name, tag name or fully qualified ref name​. If given multiple times, use refs whose names match any of the given shell patterns​. Use −−no−refs to clear any previous ref patterns given​. −−exclude=<pattern> Do not use any ref whose name matches a given shell pattern​. The pattern can be one of branch name, tag name or fully qualified ref name​. If given multiple times, a ref will be excluded when it matches any of the given patterns​. When used together with −−refs, a ref will be used as a match only when it matches at least one −−refs pattern and does not match any −−exclude patterns​. Use −−no−exclude to clear the list of exclude patterns​. −−all List all commits reachable from all refs −−annotate−stdin Transform stdin by substituting all the 40−character SHA−1 hexes (say $hex) with "$hex ($rev_name)"​. When used with −−name−only, substitute with "$rev_name", omitting $hex altogether​. For example: $ cat sample​.txt An abbreviated revision 2ae0a9cb82 will not be substituted​. The full name after substitution is 2ae0a9cb8298185a94e5998086f380a355dd8907, while its tree object is 70d105cc79e63b81cfdcb08a15297c23e60b07ad $ git name−rev −−annotate−stdin <sample​.txt An abbreviated revision 2ae0a9cb82 will not be substituted​. The full name after substitution is 2ae0a9cb8298185a94e5998086f380a355dd8907 (master), while its tree object is 70d105cc79e63b81cfdcb08a15297c23e60b07ad $ git name−rev −−name−only −−annotate−stdin <sample​.txt An abbreviated revision 2ae0a9cb82 will not be substituted​. The full name after substitution is master, while its tree object is 70d105cc79e63b81cfdcb08a15297c23e60b07ad−−stdin This option is deprecated in favor of git name−rev −−annotate−stdin​. They are functionally equivalent​. −−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​.

EXAMPLESGiven 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​. Enter git name−rev: % git name−rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0​.99~940Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0​.99​. Another nice thing you can do is: % git log | git name−rev −−stdin
