GIT-VERSION(1) Git Manual GIT-VERSION(1)
git-version - Display version information about Git
git version [--build-options]
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.
--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>.
