git-version(1) Git Manual git-version(1)
NAME
git-version - Display version information about Git
SYNOPSIS
git version [--build-options]
DESCRIPTION
With no options given, the version of git is printed on the standard
output.
Note that git --version is identical to git version because the former
is internally converted into the latter.
OPTIONS
--build-options
Include additional information about how git was built for
diagnostic purposes.
The libraries used to implement the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms
are displayed in the form SHA-1: <option> and SHA-256: <option>.
Note that the SHA-1 options SHA1_APPLE, SHA1_OPENSSL, and SHA1_BLK
do not use a collision detection algorithm and thus may be
vulnerable to known SHA-1 collision attacks. When a faster SHA-1
implementation without collision detection is used for only
non-cryptographic purposes, the algorithm is displayed in the form
non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>.
