NAME

|
----
|
|
git-for-each-ref - Output information on each ref
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git for-each-ref' [--count=<count>] [--shell|--perl|--python|--tcl]
|
|
[--sort=<key>]\* [--format=<format>] [<pattern>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Iterate over all refs that match `<pattern>` and show them
|
|
according to the given `<format>`, after sorting them according
|
|
to the given set of `<key>`. If `<max>` is given, stop after
|
|
showing that many refs. The interpolated values in `<format>`
|
|
can optionally be quoted as string literals in the specified
|
|
host language allowing their direct evaluation in that language.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<count>::
|
|
By default the command shows all refs that match
|
|
`<pattern>`. This option makes it stop after showing
|
|
that many refs.
|
|
|
|
<key>::
|
|
A field name to sort on. Prefix `-` to sort in
|
|
descending order of the value. When unspecified,
|
|
`refname` is used. You may use the --sort=<key> option
|
|
multiple times, in which case the last key becomes the primary
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
<format>::
|
|
A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from the
|
|
object pointed at by a ref being shown. If `fieldname`
|
|
is prefixed with an asterisk (`*`) and the ref points
|
|
at a tag object, the value for the field in the object
|
|
tag refers is used. When unspecified, defaults to
|
|
`%(objectname) SPC %(objecttype) TAB %(refname)`.
|
|
It also interpolates `%%` to `%`, and `%xx` where `xx`
|
|
are hex digits interpolates to character with hex code
|
|
`xx`; for example `%00` interpolates to `\0` (NUL),
|
|
`%09` to `\t` (TAB) and `%0a` to `\n` (LF).
|
|
|
|
<pattern>::
|
|
If one or more patterns are given, only refs are shown that
|
|
match againt at least one pattern, either using fnmatch(3) or
|
|
literally, in the latter case matching completely or from the
|
|
beginning up to a slash.
|
|
|
|
--shell::
|
|
--perl::
|
|
--python::
|
|
--tcl::
|
|
If given, strings that substitute `%(fieldname)`
|
|
placeholders are quoted as string literals suitable for
|
|
the specified host language. This is meant to produce
|
|
a scriptlet that can directly be `eval`ed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FIELD NAMES
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Various values from structured fields in referenced objects can
|
|
be used to interpolate into the resulting output, or as sort
|
|
keys.
|
|
|
|
For all objects, the following names can be used:
|
|
|
|
refname::
|
|
The name of the ref (the part after $GIT_DIR/).
|
|
|
|
objecttype::
|
|
The type of the object (`blob`, `tree`, `commit`, `tag`).
|
|
|
|
objectsize::
|
|
The size of the object (the same as 'git-cat-file -s' reports).
|
|
|
|
objectname::
|
|
The object name (aka SHA-1).
|
|
|
|
In addition to the above, for commit and tag objects, the header
|
|
field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
|
|
be used to specify the value in the header field.
|
|
|
|
Fields that have name-email-date tuple as its value (`author`,
|
|
`committer`, and `tagger`) can be suffixed with `name`, `email`,
|
|
and `date` to extract the named component.
|
|
|
|
The first line of the message in a commit and tag object is
|
|
`subject`, the remaining lines are `body`. The whole message
|
|
is `contents`.
|
|
|
|
For sorting purposes, fields with numeric values sort in numeric
|
|
order (`objectsize`, `authordate`, `committerdate`, `taggerdate`).
|
|
All other fields are used to sort in their byte-value order.
|
|
|
|
In any case, a field name that refers to a field inapplicable to
|
|
the object referred by the ref does not cause an error. It
|
|
returns an empty string instead.
|
|
|
|
As a special case for the date-type fields, you may specify a format for
|
|
the date by adding one of `:default`, `:relative`, `:short`, `:local`,
|
|
`:iso8601` or `:rfc2822` to the end of the fieldname; e.g.
|
|
`%(taggerdate:relative)`.

EXAMPLES
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
An example directly producing formatted text. Show the most recent
|
|
3 tagged commits::
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --count=3 --sort='-*authordate' \
|
|
--format='From: %(*authorname) %(*authoremail)
|
|
Subject: %(*subject)
|
|
Date: %(*authordate)
|
|
Ref: %(*refname)
|
|
|
|
%(*body)
|
|
' 'refs/tags'
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
A simple example showing the use of shell eval on the output,
|
|
demonstrating the use of --shell. List the prefixes of all heads::
|
|
------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
git for-each-ref --shell --format="ref=%(refname)" refs/heads | \
|
|
while read entry
|
|
do
|
|
eval "$entry"
|
|
echo `dirname $ref`
|
|
done
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
A bit more elaborate report on tags, demonstrating that the format
|
|
may be an entire script::
|
|
------------
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
|
|
fmt='
|
|
r=%(refname)
|
|
t=%(*objecttype)
|
|
T=${r#refs/tags/}
|
|
|
|
o=%(*objectname)
|
|
n=%(*authorname)
|
|
e=%(*authoremail)
|
|
s=%(*subject)
|
|
d=%(*authordate)
|
|
b=%(*body)
|
|
|
|
kind=Tag
|
|
if test "z$t" = z
|
|
then
|
|
# could be a lightweight tag
|
|
t=%(objecttype)
|
|
kind="Lightweight tag"
|
|
o=%(objectname)
|
|
n=%(authorname)
|
|
e=%(authoremail)
|
|
s=%(subject)
|
|
d=%(authordate)
|
|
b=%(body)
|
|
fi
|
|
echo "$kind $T points at a $t object $o"
|
|
if test "z$t" = zcommit
|
|
then
|
|
echo "The commit was authored by $n $e
|
|
at $d, and titled
|
|
|
|
$s
|
|
|
|
Its message reads as:
|
|
"
|
|
echo "$b" | sed -e "s/^/ /"
|
|
echo
|
|
fi
|
|
'
|
|
|
|
eval=`git for-each-ref --shell --format="$fmt" \
|
|
--sort='*objecttype' \
|
|
--sort=-taggerdate \
|
|
refs/tags`
|
|
eval "$eval"
