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>.
