git-info: Displaying information about a Git repository a la `svn info’
By Akinori. Filed in Shell Script |I haven’t been writing much in English about technical stuff, so I am going to start this blog with a series of articles that introduce some of my little works.
I picked git-info(1) to begin with, which is a small shell script that provides Git with a similar functionality to "svn info". As a long time user of Subversion who was new to Git I really missed a handy command to see repository information at a glance, so I wrote this.
knu’s git-info at master – GitHub
A sample output (at the time of writing) is as follows.
% git info
Repository Path: /home/knu/src/github/git-info/.git
Path: /home/knu/src/github/git-info
Remote Repositories:
origin git@github.com:knu/git-info.git (fetch)
origin git@github.com:knu/git-info.git (push)
Remote Branches:
origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/master
Local Branches:
* master
Repository Configuration:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
url = git@github.com:knu/git-info.git
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
