How to list all tags pointing to a specific commit in git
GitTagsGit Problem Overview
I have seen the commands git describe and git-name-rev but I have not managed to get them to list more than one tag.
Example: I have the sha1 48eb354 and I know the tags A and B point to it. So I want a git command git {something} 48eb354 that produce output similar to "A, B". I am not interested in knowing references relative other tags or branches just exact matches for tags.
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
git tag --points-at HEAD
Shows all tags at HEAD, you can also substitute HEAD with any sha1 id.
Solution 2 - Git
You can use:
git tag --contains <commit>
that shows all tags at certain commit. It can be used instead of:
git tag --points-at HEAD
that is available only from 1.7.10.
Solution 3 - Git
git show-ref --tags -d | grep ^48eb354 | sed -e 's,.* refs/tags/,,' -e 's/\^{}//'
should work for both lightweight and annotated tags.
Solution 4 - Git
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-for-each-ref.html">git for-each-ref --format='%(objectname) %(refname:short)' refs/tags/ |
grep ^$commit_id |
cut -d' ' -f2Pity it can’t be done more easily. Another flag on git tag to include commit IDs could express that git for-each-ref invocation naturally.
Solution 5 - Git
For current commit you can use
git tag --points-at $(git log -n1 --pretty='%H')
Solution 6 - Git
The following command does the job, but directly parse the content of the .git directory and thus may break if the git repository format change.
grep -l -r -e '^48eb354' .git/refs/tags|sed -e 's,.*/,,'
