cg-object-id(1)

NAME

cg-object-id - get the sha1 id of an object associated
with the given symbolic id

SYNOPSIS

cg-object-id [-b | -c | -d | -n | -p | -t] [OBJECT_ID].sp

DESCRIPTION

Resolves a given symbolic id to the raw SHA1 id (or a sym
bolic description when passed the -d parameter). The symbolic id
can be an SHA1 id, a unique starting segment of an existing SHA1
id, a ref name, date, empty string, etc. See the COMMIT_ID de
scription in cogito(7) for the full list..sp Normally, you do not
use this command directly (except with the -d parameter), but it
is used in other Cogito scripts to resolve passed object identi
fiers. If the ID is not provided, HEAD is assumed. The default
behavior is to show the commit ID, but you should always explic
itly write -c if using this in a script..sp

OPTIONS

-b
Get name of the current branch.
-c
Get ID of commit matching the object ID (error out if
it is not a commit). This is the default if you do not pass any
parameter as well, but that is only for the human usage. For
clarity, all scripted usage of cg-object-id should use -c explic
itly if it wants a commit.
-d
Get a commit description in form of a short string. It
shows the most recent tag in past of the commit and if it is not
the commit itself, it appends first few chars of the commit id to
id. See git-describe(1) for details.
-n
Normalize only - don't check the object type.
-p
Get ID of the first parent commit of a given revision
or HEAD. NOTE: Multiple SHA1s separated by newlines will be re
turned for commits with multiple parents.
-t
Get ID of tree associated with given commit or HEAD.
OBJECT_ID
An ID resolving to a commit.
-h, --help
Print usage summary.
--long-help
Print user manual. The same as found in
cg-object-id(1).
