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         


        

Answer 1

You can use this command

$ git rev-list HEAD

You can also use the head Unix command to show the latest n HEAD commits like

$ git rev-list HEAD | head - 2
