Since Git supports branches, every repository must have one (initial) branch. The name master has no special meaning except that it's how Git names the default branch when it initializes a new repository. can anyone give this information? Start with The Git Parable [1] then move on to Git books and HOWTOs [2]. The Pro Git book listed there is freely available online. 1. http://tom.preston-werner.com/2009/05/19/the-git-parable.html 2. http://www.git-scm.com/documentation -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] Re: git tag -l - where are the associated
for x in $(git tag -l); do echo $x\t$(git rev-parse $x) done BTW that turns out to be: git show-ref --tags Awesome bash bashing, though! Now I'm still trying to go from a hashtag to a tag. I'll see if I can follow up when I find it - it should be easy, right? git show-ref --tags | grep de049647a1ea285ce7791dc4ebf01ddfc564ddad -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

(I'm unsure how name-rev determines its results.) If you aren't looking to use it programmatically, you could maybe get away with git log --decorate --oneline -1 de049647a1ea285ce7791dc4ebf01ddfc564ddad Check the man page for name-rev if you want to find out more. It can be quite useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group. To post to this group, send email to git-users@googlegroups.com.
