| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-name-rev' [--tags] ( --all | --stdin | <committish>... ) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Finds 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 |
| |
| --all:: |
| List all commits reachable from all refs |
| |
| --stdin:: |
| Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able |
| commits, and pass to stdout |
| |
| EXAMPLE |
| ------- |
| |
| Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody |
| wrote you about that phantastic 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/v0.99^0~940 |
| ------------ |
| |
| Now 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 |
