  12 'git show' [<options>] [<object>...]
  13
  14 DESCRIPTION
  15 -----------
  16 Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
  17
  18 For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
  19 presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
  20 'git diff-tree --cc'.
  21
  22 For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
  23
  24 For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree'
  25 with --name-only).
  26
  27 For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
  28
  29 The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to
  30 control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.
  31
  32 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
