As I want to use the latest commit id in all my projects, so I know which commit the version is based on, I wrote an extremly simple script that is based on git-show to display only the version named git-project-version.sh.

The output of "git show" can change while the output of "git rev-parse" (and the plumbing) is stable. But maybe what you really want is: git describe [--always] Santi ``` ## Nico -telmich- Schottelius, 2008-04-15 12:02 Subject: Re: [new tool] git-project-version.sh Message-ID: <20080415120212.GB17459@denkbrett.schottelius.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20080415120212.GB17459%40denkbrett.schottelius.org In-Reply-To: <20080415115529.GA3595@atjola.homenet> ``` Björn Steinbrink [Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 01:55:29PM +0200]: > > [...git-project-version.sh...] > > > > Hm, except for the three trailing dots that you get with > --abbrev-commit, you can get the same results with rev-parse > > $ git rev-parse HEAD > 8a18e8fe4e0e64222de6b063a976d0fe24955ddb > > $ git rev-parse --short HEAD > 8a18e8f Should have known that before... thank you for the hint!
