getting commits' tag in git

Question

Gitk has a nice habit of showing me Tags:, Follows: and Precedes: for commit. How do I get the same information from command line?

Answer 1

To show the tags that contain a commit (i.e. the tags that the commit precedes):

git tag --contains <commit>

Answer 2

To show the tag of a commit:

$ git describe --tags <commit>

To show the preceding commit:

$ git rev-list -1 <commit>^

To show the following commit:

$ git rev-list -1 <commit>..HEAD
