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>.
