Git - finding a filename from a SHA1

Question

I added a file to the index with:

git add somefile.txt

I then got the SHA1 for this file with:

git hash-object somefile.txt         


        

Answer 1

Commit the file and note the sha1 hash of the commit object. After that use

git ls-tree 

and you will get the names of the files with the hashes.

Check the manual pages for more options.
