GIT TAG SHOW PATCH
GIT TAG SHOW UPGRADE
GIT TAG SHOW FULL

When you want to create a historical point that you can refer to reuse in the future.

• When you want to create a release point for a stable version of your code. 1 Answer To create a tag on your current branch, run this: git tag To describe your tag: git tag -a This will create a local tag with the. git tag show

All these versions are tags in the repository.īoth of these tags are similar, but they are different in case of the amount of Metadata stores. In the above image, there are many versions of a branch. This command lists the tags in alphabetical order the order in which they are displayed has no real importance. The below figure demonstrates the tags on various branches. The git tag is displayed on the right sidebar if it is enabled in the General Settings of the Git Integration app Calculate and show Git tags in Git. We can have any number of tags on a branch or different branches. Tags are much like branches, and they do not change once initiated. Primarily, it is used to mark a project's initial point like v1.1. We can tag a commit for future reference. Tags are used to mark a commit stage as relevant. We can see that there were other changes from the word function to export default, and that's been done throughout this commit on multiple files.Tags make a point as a specific point in Git history.

GIT TAG SHOW UPGRADE

We see that the message was to upgrade to ECMAScript 2015 modules.

GIT TAG SHOW FULL

Now we have the full context behind this commit.

GIT TAG SHOW PATCH

Let's also use the patch option so that we see the diff. Now let's paste in the ID of the commit that we copied. For example, let's use the git log command to see more information about the rest of the changes in this commit. To get more context around this change, I like to copy the commit ID here, and then use other tools to find out more information. In this case, we know that the export default line change was made on July 2nd, and it was made by Trevor. For each line, we have the commit ID of when the line was last modified, as well as who last modified it, and when that change was made.

For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. In this case, for the geturlslug file, we have five lines in the file. DESCRIPTION Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits). When we run the git blame command, it shows us the details of how each line was last modified inside of the file that we passed in. What we can do is let's go back to our command line, and let's run the git blame command with the name of our file, which was geturlslug.js.

From the git tag reference:-n specifies how many lines from the annotation, if any, are printed when using -l.

This will show all tags with (the first line of) their messages: git tag -n -n takes an optional number of lines of the annotation to display, it defaults to one. You can think of this as a set operation. You need to use the -n option with either 'git -l' or 'git tag'. The output is given in reverse chronological order by default. We want to know why they added this export default. List commits that are reachable by following the parent links from the given commit (s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one (s) given with a in front of them. In our code editor, we're working on a file, and we'd like to know who last modified this line number one.
