GIT-VERSION(1) Git Manual GIT-VERSION(1)

NAME

git-version - Display version information about Git

SYNOPSIS

git version [--build-options]

DESCRIPTION

With no options given, the version of git is printed on the standard output.

Note that git --version is identical to git version because the former is internally converted into the latter.

OPTIONS

--build-options

Include additional information about how git was built for diagnostic purposes.

The libraries used to implement the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms are displayed in the form SHA-1: <option> and SHA-256: <option>. Note that the SHA-1 options SHA1_APPLE, SHA1_OPENSSL, and SHA1_BLK do not use a collision detection algorithm and thus may be vulnerable to known SHA-1 collision attacks. When a faster SHA-1 implementation without collision detection is used for only non-cryptographic purposes, the algorithm is displayed in the form non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>.
