NAME
----
git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git name-rev' [--tags] [--refs=
]
( --all | --annotate-stdin | ... )
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
--refs=::
Only use refs whose names match a given shell pattern. The pattern
can be a branch name, a tag name, or a 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=::
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. This option was called `--stdin` in older versions
of Git.
+
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
