git-for-each-ref - Output information on each ref
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git for-each-ref' [--count=<count>] [--shell|--perl|--python|--tcl]
|
|
[(--sort=<key>)...] [--format=<format>] [<pattern>...]
|
|
[--points-at <object>] [(--merged | --no-merged) [<object>]]
|
|
[--contains [<object>]]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Iterate over all refs that match `<pattern>` and show them
|
|
according to the given `<format>`, after sorting them according
|
|
to the given set of `<key>`. If `<count>` is given, stop after
|
|
showing that many refs. The interpolated values in `<format>`
|
|
can optionally be quoted as string literals in the specified
|
|
host language allowing their direct evaluation in that language.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<count>::
|
|
By default the command shows all refs that match
|
|
`<pattern>`. This option makes it stop after showing
|
|
that many refs.
|
|
|
|
<key>::
|
|
A field name to sort on. Prefix `-` to sort in
|
|
descending order of the value. When unspecified,
|
|
`refname` is used. You may use the --sort=<key> option
|
|
multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
<format>::
|
|
A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from the
|
|
object pointed at by a ref being shown. If `fieldname`
|
|
is prefixed with an asterisk (`*`) and the ref points
|
|
at a tag object, the value for the field in the object
|
|
tag refers is used. When unspecified, defaults to
|
|
`%(objectname) SPC %(objecttype) TAB %(refname)`.
|
|
It also interpolates `%%` to `%`, and `%xx` where `xx`
|
|
are hex digits interpolates to character with hex code
|
|
`xx`; for example `%00` interpolates to `\0` (NUL),
|
|
`%09` to `\t` (TAB) and `%0a` to `\n` (LF).
|
|
|
|
<pattern>...::
|
|
If one or more patterns are given, only refs are shown that
|
|
match against at least one pattern, either using fnmatch(3) or
|
|
literally, in the latter case matching completely or from the
|
|
beginning up to a slash.
|
|
|
|
--shell::
|
|
--perl::
|
|
--python::
|
|
--tcl::
|
|
If given, strings that substitute `%(fieldname)`
|
|
placeholders are quoted as string literals suitable for
|
|
the specified host language. This is meant to produce
|
|
a scriptlet that can directly be `eval`ed.
|
|
|
|
--points-at <object>::
|
|
Only list refs which points at the given object.
|
|
|
|
--merged [<object>]::
|
|
Only list refs whose tips are reachable from the
|
|
specified commit (HEAD if not specified).
|
|
|
|
--no-merged [<object>]::
|
|
Only list refs whose tips are not reachable from the
|
|
specified commit (HEAD if not specified).
|
|
|
|
--contains [<object>]::
|
|
Only list tags which contain the specified commit (HEAD if not
|
|
specified).
|
|
|
|
FIELD NAMES
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Various values from structured fields in referenced objects can
|
|
be used to interpolate into the resulting output, or as sort
|
|
keys.
|
|
|
|
For all objects, the following names can be used:
|
|
|
|
refname::
|
|
The name of the ref (the part after $GIT_DIR/).
|
|
For a non-ambiguous short name of the ref append `:short`.
|
|
The option core.warnAmbiguousRefs is used to select the strict
|
|
abbreviation mode. If `strip=<N>` is appended, strips `<N>`
|
|
slash-separated path components from the front of the refname
|
|
(e.g., `%(refname:strip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `foo`.
|
|
`<N>` must be a positive integer. If a displayed ref has fewer
|
|
components than `<N>`, the command aborts with an error.
|
|
|
|
objecttype::
|
|
The type of the object (`blob`, `tree`, `commit`, `tag`).
|
|
|
|
objectsize::
|
|
The size of the object (the same as 'git cat-file -s' reports).
|
|
|
|
objectname::
|
|
The object name (aka SHA-1).
|
|
For a non-ambiguous abbreviation of the object name append `:short`.
|
|
|
|
upstream::
|
|
The name of a local ref which can be considered ``upstream''
|
|
from the displayed ref. Respects `:short` in the same way as
|
|
`refname` above. Additionally respects `:track` to show
|
|
"[ahead N, behind M]" and `:trackshort` to show the terse
|
|
version: ">" (ahead), "<" (behind), "<>" (ahead and behind),
|
|
or "=" (in sync). Has no effect if the ref does not have
|
|
tracking information associated with it.
|
|
|
|
push::
|
|
The name of a local ref which represents the `@{push}` location
|
|
for the displayed ref. Respects `:short`, `:track`, and
|
|
`:trackshort` options as `upstream` does. Produces an empty
|
|
string if no `@{push}` ref is configured.
|
|
|
|
HEAD::
|
|
'*' if HEAD matches current ref (the checked out branch), ' '
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
color::
|
|
Change output color. Followed by `:<colorname>`, where names
|
|
are described in `color.branch.*`.
|
|
|
|
align::
|
|
Left-, middle-, or right-align the content between
|
|
%(align:...) and %(end). The "align:" is followed by
|
|
`width=<width>` and `position=<position>` in any order
|
|
separated by a comma, where the `<position>` is either left,
|
|
right or middle, default being left and `<width>` is the total
|
|
length of the content with alignment. For brevity, the
|
|
"width=" and/or "position=" prefixes may be omitted, and bare
|
|
<width> and <position> used instead. For instance,
|
|
`%(align:<width>,<position>)`. If the contents length is more
|
|
than the width then no alignment is performed. If used with
|
|
'--quote' everything in between %(align:...) and %(end) is
|
|
quoted, but if nested then only the topmost level performs
|
|
quoting.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above, for commit and tag objects, the header
|
|
field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
|
|
be used to specify the value in the header field.
|
|
|
|
For commit and tag objects, the special `creatordate` and `creator`
|
|
fields will correspond to the appropriate date or name-email-date tuple
|
|
from the `committer` or `tagger` fields depending on the object type.
|
|
These are intended for working on a mix of annotated and lightweight tags.
|
|
|
|
Fields that have name-email-date tuple as its value (`author`,
|
|
`committer`, and `tagger`) can be suffixed with `name`, `email`,
|
|
and `date` to extract the named component.
|
|
|
|
The complete message in a commit and tag object is `contents`.
|
|
Its first line is `contents:subject`, where subject is the concatenation
|
|
of all lines of the commit message up to the first blank line. The next
|
|
line is 'contents:body', where body is all of the lines after the first
|
|
blank line. The optional GPG signature is `contents:signature`. The
|
|
first `N` lines of the message is obtained using `contents:lines=N`.
|
|
|
|
For sorting purposes, fields with numeric values sort in numeric order
|
|
(`objectsize`, `authordate`, `committerdate`, `creatordate`, `taggerdate`).
|
|
All other fields are used to sort in their byte-value order.
|
|
|
|
There is also an option to sort by versions, this can be done by using
|
|
the fieldname `version:refname` or its alias `v:refname`.
|
|
|
|
In any case, a field name that refers to a field inapplicable to
|
|
the object referred by the ref does not cause an error. It
|
|
returns an empty string instead.
|
|
|
|
As a special case for the date-type fields, you may specify a format for
|
|
the date by adding `:` followed by date format name (see the
|
|
values the `--date` option to linkgit::git-rev-list[1] takes).

EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
An example directly producing formatted text. Show the most recent
|
|
3 tagged commits:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --count=3 --sort='-*authordate' \
|
|
--format='From: %(*authorname) %(*authoremail)
|
|
Subject: %(*subject)
|
|
Date: %(*authordate)
|
|
Ref: %(*refname)
|
|
|
|
%(*body)
|
|
' 'refs/tags'
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
A simple example showing the use of shell eval on the output,
|
|
demonstrating the use of --shell. List the prefixes of all heads:
|
|
------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --shell --format="ref=%(refname)" refs/heads | \
|
|
while read entry
|
|
do
|
|
eval "$entry"
|
|
echo `dirname $ref`
|
|
done
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
A bit more elaborate report on tags, demonstrating that the format
|
|
may be an entire script:
|
|
------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
fmt='
|
|
r=%(refname)
|
|
t=%(*objecttype)
|
|
T=${r#refs/tags/}
|
|
|
|
o=%(*objectname)
|
|
n=%(*authorname)
|
|
e=%(*authoremail)
|
|
s=%(*subject)
|
|
d=%(*authordate)
|
|
b=%(*body)
|
|
|
|
kind=Tag
|
|
if test "z$t" = z
|
|
then
|
|
# could be a lightweight tag
|
|
t=%(objecttype)
|
|
kind="Lightweight tag"
|
|
o=%(objectname)
|
|
n=%(authorname)
|
|
e=%(authoremail)
|
|
s=%(subject)
|
|
d=%(authordate)
|
|
b=%(body)
|
|
fi
|
|
echo "$kind $T points at a $t object $o"
|
|
if test "z$t" = zcommit
|
|
then
|
|
echo "The commit was authored by $n $e
|
|
at $d, and titled
|
|
|
|
$s
|
|
|
|
Its message reads as:
|
|
"
|
|
echo "$b" | sed -e "s/^/ /"
|
|
echo
|
|
fi
|
|
'
|
|
|
|
eval=`git for-each-ref --shell --format="$fmt" \
|
|
--sort='*objecttype' \
|
|
--sort=-taggerdate \
|
|
refs/tags`
|
|
eval "$eval"
