Git Git revisions syntax
Remarks
Many Git commands take revision parameters as arguments. Depending on the command, they denote a specific commit or, for commands which walk the revision graph (such as git-log(1)), all commits which can be reached from that commit. They are usually denoted as <commit>, or <rev>, or <revision> in the syntax description.
The reference documentation for Git revisions syntax is the gitrevisions(7) manpage.
Still missing from this page:
- [_] Output from
git describe, e.g.v1.7.4.2-679-g3bee7fb - [_]
@alone as a shortcut forHEAD - [_]
@{-<n>}, e.g.@{-1}, and-meaning@{-1} - [_]
<branchname>@{push} - [_]
<rev>^@, for all parents of<rev>
Needs separate documentation:
- [_] Referring to blobs and trees in the repository and in the index:
<rev>:<path>and:<n>:<path>syntax - [_] Revision ranges like
A..B,A...B,B ^A,A^1, and revision limiting like-<n>,--since
