In Git, how do I figure out what my current revision is?
There are many ways git log -1
is the easiest and most common, I think
What do you mean by "version number"? It is quite common to tag a commit with a version number and then use
$ git describe --tags
to identify the current HEAD w.r.t. any tags. If you mean you want to know the hash of the current HEAD, you probably want:
$ git rev-parse HEAD
or for the short revision hash:
$ git rev-parse --short HEAD
It is often sufficient to do:
$ cat .git/refs/heads/${branch-main}
but this is not reliable as the ref may be packed.
