Git revisions cheatsheet
A list of revision specifications you can use with git log and many other Git commands. Summarized from gitrevisions(7) man page.
Example usages
git log master...develop
inspect differences in branches
git rebase -i HEAD~3
rebase last 3 commits
git reset --hard HEAD@{2}
undo last operation that changed HEAD
git checkout v2^{}
checkout the v2 tag (not v2 branch)
The 3rd argument in each of these commands is a gitrevision. These gitrevisions can be passed to many Git commands.
Common git revisions
git show dae68e1
sha1
git show HEAD
reference
git show v1.0.0
tag
git show master
local branch
git show origin/master
remote branch
git show master~2
2 commits back from master
git show master..fix
reachable from fix but not master
git show master...fix
reachable from fix and master, but not both
These are just the common ones, there’s a lot more below! (These work in many other commands, not just git show.)
