Finding list of commit object

Anjib Mulepati· Mar 26, 2012, 15:22 UTC · lore

Hi All,

I was doing some research on git objects. I understand that each object is represented with hash code and we can find the type of object with git cat command. I was wondering is there any command we can give to find the list of commit object (or any other object type) in current project without doing cat on each and every object inside .git/objects/

Thanks, Anjib

git rev-list --all

That will list all commits, starting from each current branch or tag and walking backwards through history.
