| 4 | NAME | |
| 5 | ---- | |
| 7bd7f280 | 6 | git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs |
| bd321bcc JS |
7 | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 10 | -------- | |
| 11 | 'git-name-rev' [--tags] ( --all | --stdin | <commitish>... ) | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | ----------- | |
| 15 | Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any | |
| 16 | format parsable by git-rev-parse. | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | ||
| 19 | OPTIONS | |
| 20 | ------- | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | --tags:: | |
| 23 | Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | --all:: | |
| 26 | List all commits reachable from all refs | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | --stdin:: | |
| 29 | Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able | |
| 30 | commits, and pass to stdout | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | EXAMPLE | |
| 33 | ------- | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody | |
| 36 | wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a. | |
| 37 | Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but | |
| 38 | not the context. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | Enter git-name-rev: | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | ------------ | |
| 43 | % git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a | |
| 44 | ------------ | |
| 45 | ||
| 46 | Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99. | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | Another nice thing you can do is: | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | ------------ | |
| 51 | % git log | git name-rev --stdin | |
