git-show(1)
===========
NAME
----
git-show - Show various types of objects
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-show' [options] <object>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
'git-diff-tree --cc'.
For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to gitlink:git-ls-tree[1]
with \--name-only).
For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
The command takes options applicable to the gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] command to
control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
OPTIONS
-------
<object>::
The name of the object to show.
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
