<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Many Git porcelainish commands take mixture of flags
(i.e. parameters that begin with a dash <em>-</em>) and parameters
meant for the underlying <em>git rev-list</em> command they use internally
and flags and parameters for the other commands they use
downstream of <em>git rev-list</em>. This command is used to
distinguish between them.</p></div>
</div>

<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--parseopt
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em>git rev-parse</em> in option parsing mode (see PARSEOPT section below).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--keep-dashdash
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Only meaningful in <code>--parseopt</code> mode. Tells the option parser to echo
out the first <code>--</code> met instead of skipping it.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--stop-at-non-option
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Only meaningful in <code>--parseopt</code> mode. Lets the option parser stop at
the first non-option argument. This can be used to parse sub-commands
that take options themselves.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--sq-quote
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em>git rev-parse</em> in shell quoting mode (see SQ-QUOTE
section below). In contrast to the <code>--sq</code> option below, this
mode does only quoting. Nothing else is done to command input.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--revs-only
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Do not output flags and parameters not meant for
<em>git rev-list</em> command.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--no-revs
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Do not output flags and parameters meant for
<em>git rev-list</em> command.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--flags
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Do not output non-flag parameters.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--no-flags
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Do not output flag parameters.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--default <arg>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If there is no parameter given by the user, use <code><arg></code>
instead.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--verify
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Verify that exactly one parameter is provided, and that it
can be turned into a raw 20-byte SHA-1 that can be used to
access the object database. If so, emit it to the standard
output; otherwise, error out.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If you want to make sure that the output actually names an object in
your object database and/or can be used as a specific type of object
For example, <code>git rev-parse "$VAR^{commit}"</code> will make sure <code>$VAR</code>
names an existing object that is a commit-ish (i.e. a commit, or an
annotated tag that points at a commit). To make sure that <code>$VAR</code>
names an existing object of any type, <code>git rev-parse "$VAR^{object}"</code>
can be used.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-q
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--quiet
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Only meaningful in <code>--verify</code> mode. Do not output an error
message if the first argument is not a valid object name;
instead exit with non-zero status silently.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--sq
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Usually the output is made one line per flag and
parameter. This option makes output a single line,
properly quoted for consumption by shell. Useful when
you expect your parameter to contain whitespaces and
newlines (e.g. when using pickaxe <code>-S</code> with
<em>git diff-*</em>). In contrast to the <code>--sq-quote</code> option,
the command input is still interpreted as usual.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--not
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
When showing object names, prefix them with <em>^</em> and
strip <em>^</em> prefix from the object names that already have
one.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--symbolic
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Usually the object names are output in SHA-1 form (with
possible <em>^</em> prefix); this option makes them output in a
form as close to the original input as possible.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--symbolic-full-name
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This is similar to --symbolic, but it omits input that
are not refs (i.e. branch or tag names; or more
explicitly disambiguating "heads/master" form, when you
want to name the "master" branch when there is an
unfortunately named tag "master"), and show them as full
refnames (e.g. "refs/heads/master").
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--abbrev-ref[=(strict|loose)]

<em><refname></em>, e.g. <em>master</em>, <em>heads/master</em>, <em>refs/heads/master</em>

<dd>
<p>
A symbolic ref name. E.g. <em>master</em> typically means the commit
object referenced by <em>refs/heads/master</em>. If you
happen to have both <em>heads/master</em> and <em>tags/master</em>, you can
explicitly say <em>heads/master</em> to tell Git which one you mean.
When ambiguous, a <em><refname></em> is disambiguated by taking the
first match in the following rules:
</p>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>
If <em>$GIT_DIR/<refname></em> exists, that is what you mean (this is usually
useful only for <em>HEAD</em>, <em>FETCH_HEAD</em>, <em>ORIG_HEAD</em>, <em>MERGE_HEAD</em>

<li>
<p>
otherwise, <em>refs/remotes/<refname>/HEAD</em> if it exists.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>HEAD</em> names the commit on which you based the changes in the working tree.
<em>FETCH_HEAD</em> records the branch which you fetched from a remote repository
with your last <code>git fetch</code> invocation.
<em>ORIG_HEAD</em> is created by commands that move your <em>HEAD</em> in a drastic
way, to record the position of the <em>HEAD</em> before their operation, so that
you can easily change the tip of the branch back to the state before you ran
them.
<em>MERGE_HEAD</em> records the commit(s) which you are merging into your branch
when you run <code>git merge</code>.
<em>CHERRY_PICK_HEAD</em> records the commit which you are cherry-picking
when you run <code>git cherry-pick</code>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Note that any of the <em>refs/*</em> cases above may come either from
the <em>$GIT_DIR/refs</em> directory or from the <em>$GIT_DIR/packed-refs</em> file.

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><refname>@{<date>}</em>, e.g. <em>master@{yesterday}</em>, <em>HEAD@{5 minutes ago}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A ref followed by the suffix <em>@</em> with a date specification
enclosed in a brace
pair (e.g. <em>{yesterday}</em>, <em>{1 month 2 weeks 3 days 1 hour 1
second ago}</em> or <em>{1979-02-26 18:30:00}</em>) specifies the value
of the ref at a prior point in time. This suffix may only be
used immediately following a ref name and the ref must have an
existing log (<em>$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref></em>). Note that this looks up the state
of your <strong>local</strong> ref at a given time; e.g., what was in your local
<em>master</em> branch last week. If you want to look at commits made during
certain times, see <em>--since</em> and <em>--until</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><refname>@{<n>}</em>, e.g. <em>master@{1}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A ref followed by the suffix <em>@</em> with an ordinal specification
enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. <em>{1}</em>, <em>{15}</em>) specifies
the n-th prior value of that ref. For example <em>master@{1}</em>
is the immediate prior value of <em>master</em> while <em>master@{5}</em>
is the 5th prior value of <em>master</em>. This suffix may only be used
immediately following a ref name and the ref must have an existing
log (<em>$GIT_DIR/logs/<refname></em>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>@{<n>}</em>, e.g. <em>@{1}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
You can use the <em>@</em> construct with an empty ref part to get at a
reflog entry of the current branch. For example, if you are on
branch <em>blabla</em> then <em>@{1}</em> means the same as <em>blabla@{1}</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>@{-<n>}</em>, e.g. <em>@{-1}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The construct <em>@{-<n>}</em> means the <n>th branch checked out
before the current one.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><branchname>@{upstream}</em>, e.g. <em>master@{upstream}</em>, <em>@{u}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
The suffix <em>@{upstream}</em> to a branchname (short form <em><branchname>@{u}</em>)
refers to the branch that the branch specified by branchname is set to build on
top of. A missing branchname defaults to the current one.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><rev>^</em>, e.g. <em>HEAD^, v1.5.1^0</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A suffix <em>^</em> to a revision parameter means the first parent of
that commit object. <em>^<n></em> means the <n>th parent (i.e.
<em><rev>^</em>
is equivalent to <em><rev>^1</em>). As a special rule,
<em><rev>^0</em> means the commit itself and is used when <em><rev></em> is the
object name of a tag object that refers to a commit object.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><rev>~<n></em>, e.g. <em>master~3</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A suffix <em>~<n></em> to a revision parameter means the commit
object that is the <n>th generation ancestor of the named
commit object, following only the first parents. I.e. <em><rev>~3</em> is
equivalent to <em><rev>^^^</em> which is equivalent to
<em><rev>^1^1^1</em>. See below for an illustration of
the usage of this form.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><rev>^{<type>}</em>, e.g. <em>v0.99.8^{commit}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A suffix <em>^</em> followed by an object type name enclosed in
brace pair means the object
could be a tag, and dereference the tag recursively until an
object of that type is found or the object cannot be
dereferenced anymore (in which case, barf). <em><rev>^0</em>
is a short-hand for <em><rev>^{commit}</em>.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p><em>rev^{object}</em> can be used to make sure <em>rev</em> names an
object that exists, without requiring <em>rev</em> to be a tag, and
without dereferencing <em>rev</em>; because a tag is already an object,
it does not have to be dereferenced even once to get to an object.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><rev>^{}</em>, e.g. <em>v0.99.8^{}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A suffix <em>^</em> followed by an empty brace pair
means the object could be a tag,
and dereference the tag recursively until a non-tag object is
found.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><rev>^{/<text>}</em>, e.g. <em>HEAD^{/fix nasty bug}</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A suffix <em>^</em> to a revision parameter, followed by a brace
pair that contains a text led by a slash,
is the same as the <em>:/fix nasty bug</em> syntax below except that
it returns the youngest matching commit which is reachable from
the <em><rev></em> before <em>^</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>:/<text></em>, e.g. <em>:/fix nasty bug</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A colon, followed by a slash, followed by a text, names
a commit whose commit message matches the specified regular expression.
This name returns the youngest matching commit which is
reachable from any ref. If the commit message starts with a
<em>!</em> you have to repeat that; the special sequence <em>:/!</em>,
followed by something else than <em>!</em>, is reserved for now.
The regular expression can match any part of the commit message. To
match messages starting with a string, one can use e.g. <em>:/^foo</em>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em><rev>:<path></em>, e.g. <em>HEAD:README</em>, <em>:README</em>, <em>master:./README</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A suffix <em>:</em> followed by a path names the blob or tree
at the given path in the tree-ish object named by the part
before the colon.
<em>:path</em> (with an empty part before the colon)
is a special case of the syntax described next: content
recorded in the index at the given path.
A path starting with <em>./</em> or <em>../</em> is relative to the current working directory.
The given path will be converted to be relative to the working tree’s root directory.
This is most useful to address a blob or tree from a commit or tree that has
the same tree structure as the working tree.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
<em>:<n>:<path></em>, e.g. <em>:0:README</em>, <em>:README</em>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
A colon, optionally followed by a stage number (0 to 3) and a
colon, followed by a path, names a blob object in the
index at the given path. A missing stage number (and the colon
that follows it) names a stage 0 entry. During a merge, stage
1 is the common ancestor, stage 2 is the target branch’s version
(typically the current branch), and stage 3 is the version from
the branch which is being merged.

<h2 id="_specifying_ranges">SPECIFYING RANGES</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>History traversing commands such as <code>git log</code> operate on a set
of commits, not just a single commit. To these commands,
specifying a single revision with the notation described in the
previous section means the set of commits reachable from that
commit, following the commit ancestry chain.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>To exclude commits reachable from a commit, a prefix <em>^</em>
notation is used. E.g. <em>^r1 r2</em> means commits reachable
from <em>r2</em> but exclude the ones reachable from <em>r1</em>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This set operation appears so often that there is a shorthand
for it. When you have two commits <em>r1</em> and <em>r2</em> (named according
to the syntax explained in SPECIFYING REVISIONS above), you can ask
for commits that are reachable from r2 excluding those that are reachable
from r1 by <em>^r1 r2</em> and it can be written as <em>r1..r2</em>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>A similar notation <em>r1...r2</em> is called symmetric difference
of <em>r1</em> and <em>r2</em> and is defined as
<em>r1 r2 --not $(git merge-base --all r1 r2)</em>.
It is the set of commits that are reachable from either one of
<em>r1</em> or <em>r2</em> but not from both.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>In these two shorthands, you can omit one end and let it default to HEAD.
For example, <em>origin..</em> is a shorthand for <em>origin..HEAD</em> and asks "What
did I do since I forked from the origin branch?" Similarly, <em>..origin</em>
is a shorthand for <em>HEAD..origin</em> and asks "What did the origin do since
I forked from them?" Note that <em>..</em> would mean <em>HEAD..HEAD</em> which is an
empty range that is both reachable and unreachable from HEAD.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Two other shorthands for naming a set that is formed by a commit
and its parent commits exist. The <em>r1^@</em> notation means all
parents of <em>r1</em>. <em>r1^!</em> includes commit <em>r1</em> but excludes
all of its parents.</p></div>
