How do I find the version of Git repo

Question

I cloned a git repository yesterday and am using it in Ubuntu. I need to find the version of that cloned repository I am using. What is the command for that?

Answer 1

You can use the more common git log -1 or the less used git rev-parse HEAD

Answer 2

If you have not pushed yes, you can check the version of origin/master, or of FETCH_HEAD (see FETCH_HEAD)

cd /path/to/your/local/cloned/repo
git rev-parse origin/master
git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD

That will give you the commit ID (SHA1) of what was last fetched.
