What command can I use to print out the commit id of HEAD?
This is what I'm doing by hand:
$ cat .git/HEAD ref: refs/heads/v3.3 $ cat .git/refs/heads/v3.3 6050732e725c68b83c35c873ff8808dff1c406e1
But I need a script that can reliably pipe the output of some command to a text file such that the text file contains exactly the commit id of HEAD (nothing more or less, and not just a ref). Can anyone help?
You can view your repository's heads in the path . git/refs/heads/ . In this path you will find one file for each branch, and the content in each file will be the commit ID of the tip (most recent commit) of that branch.
If you want to see what's happened recently in your project, you can use git log . This command will output a list of the latest commits in chronological order, with the latest commit first.
The HEAD reference always points to the last commit of the current branch. Therefore, you can use git-show to display the log message and diff output of the latest commit.
Commit IDs are unique SHA-1 hashes that are created whenever a new commit is recorded. If you specify a commit ID when adding a repository, Domino will always pull the state of the repository specified by that commit in a detached HEAD state.
Use the command:
git rev-parse HEAD
For the short version:
git rev-parse --short HEAD
