Git command to display HEAD commit id?

Question

What command can I use to print out the commit id of HEAD?

This is what I\'m doing by hand:

$ cat .git/HEAD
ref: refs/heads/v3.3
$ cat .git/refs/head

Old thread, still for future reference...:) even following works

git show-ref --head

by default HEAD is filtered out. Be careful about following though ; plural "heads" with a 's' at the end. The following command shows branches under "refs/heads"

 git show-ref --heads
