git-show(1) =========== NAME ---- git-show - Show various types of objects SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git show' [options] <object>... DESCRIPTION ----------- Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits). For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by 'git diff-tree --cc'. For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects. For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree' with \--name-only). For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents. The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to control how the changes the commit introduces are shown. This manual page describes only the most frequently used options. OPTIONS ------- <object>...:: The names of objects to show. For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in linkgit:gitrevisions[7]. include::pretty-options.txt[] include::pretty-formats.txt[] EXAMPLES -------- `git show v1.0.0`:: Shows the tag `v1.0.0`, along with the object the tags points at. `git show v1.0.0^{tree}`:: Shows the tree pointed to by the tag `v1.0.0`. `git show -s --format=%s v1.0.0^{commit}`:: Shows the subject of the commit pointed to by the tag `v1.0.0`. `git show next~10:Documentation/README`:: Shows the contents of the file `Documentation/README` as they were current in the 10th last commit of the branch `next`. `git show master:Makefile master:t/Makefile`:: Concatenates the contents of said Makefiles in the head of the branch `master`.
