4 | NAME | |
5 | ---- | |
7bd7f280 | 6 | git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs |
bd321bcc JS |
7 | |
8 | ||
9 | SYNOPSIS | |
10 | -------- | |
e448ff87 | 11 | [verse] |
b1889c36 | 12 | 'git name-rev' [--tags] [--refs=<pattern>] |
a8a5406a | 13 | ( --all | --stdin | <commit-ish>... ) |
bd321bcc JS |
14 | |
15 | DESCRIPTION | |
16 | ----------- | |
17 | Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any | |
0b444cdb | 18 | format parsable by 'git rev-parse'. |
bd321bcc JS |
19 | |
20 | ||
21 | OPTIONS | |
22 | ------- | |
23 | ||
24 | --tags:: | |
25 | Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits | |
26 | ||
2afc29aa | 27 | --refs=<pattern>:: |
98c5c4ad | 28 | Only use refs whose names match a given shell pattern. The pattern |
290be667 JK |
29 | can be one of branch name, tag name or fully qualified ref name. If |
30 | given multiple times, use refs whose names match any of the given shell | |
31 | patterns. Use `--no-refs` to clear any previous ref patterns given. | |
2afc29aa | 32 | |
96415b49 JK |
33 | --exclude=<pattern>:: |
34 | Do not use any ref whose name matches a given shell pattern. The | |
35 | pattern can be one of branch name, tag name or fully qualified ref | |
36 | name. If given multiple times, a ref will be excluded when it matches | |
37 | any of the given patterns. When used together with --refs, a ref will | |
38 | be used as a match only when it matches at least one --refs pattern and | |
39 | does not match any --exclude patterns. Use `--no-exclude` to clear the | |
40 | list of exclude patterns. | |
41 | ||
bd321bcc JS |
42 | --all:: |
43 | List all commits reachable from all refs | |
44 | ||
45 | --stdin:: | |
3087b615 RR |
46 | Transform stdin by substituting all the 40-character SHA-1 |
47 | hexes (say $hex) with "$hex ($rev_name)". When used with | |
48 | --name-only, substitute with "$rev_name", omitting $hex | |
49 | altogether. Intended for the scripter's use. | |

23615708 SP |
51 | --name-only:: |
52 | Instead of printing both the SHA-1 and the name, print only | |
53 | the name. If given with --tags the usual tag prefix of | |
02783075 | 54 | "tags/" is also omitted from the name, matching the output |
372c7676 | 55 | of `git-describe` more closely. |
23615708 | 56 | |
eba1351f SB |
57 | --no-undefined:: |
58 | Die with error code != 0 when a reference is undefined, | |
59 | instead of printing `undefined`. | |
60 | ||
61 | --always:: | |
62 | Show uniquely abbreviated commit object as fallback. | |
63 | ||

64 | EXAMPLE |
65 | ------- | |
66 | ||
67 | Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody | |
2a75848e | 68 | wrote you about that fantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a. |
bd321bcc JS |
69 | Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but |
70 | not the context. | |
71 | ||
0b444cdb | 72 | Enter 'git name-rev': |
bd321bcc JS |
73 | |
74 | ------------ | |
75 | % git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a | |
ee837244 | 76 | 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0.99~940 |
bd321bcc JS |
77 | ------------ |
78 | ||
79 | Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99. | |
80 | ||
81 | Another nice thing you can do is: | |
82 | ||
83 | ------------ | |
84 | % git log | git name-rev --stdin | |
