commit (HEAD
if not specified).
--ignore-case::
Sorting and filtering refs are case insensitive.
--omit-empty::
Do not print a newline after formatted refs where the format expands
to the empty string.
--exclude=<pattern>::
If one or more patterns are given, only refs which do not match
any excluded pattern(s) are shown. Matching is done using the
same rules as `<pattern>` above.
--include-root-refs::
List root refs (HEAD and pseudorefs) apart from regular refs.
FIELD NAMES
-----------
Various values from structured fields in referenced objects can
be used to interpolate into the resulting output, or as sort
keys.
For all objects, the following names can be used:
refname::
The name of the ref (the part after $GIT_DIR/).
For a non-ambiguous short name of the ref append `:short`.
The option core.warnAmbiguousRefs is used to select the strict
abbreviation mode. If `lstrip=<N>` (`rstrip=<N>`) is appended, strips `<N>`
slash-separated path components from the front (back) of the refname
(e.g. `%(refname:lstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `foo` and
`%(refname:rstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `refs`).
If `<N>` is a negative number, strip as many path components as
necessary from the specified end to leave `-<N>` path components
(e.g. `%(refname:lstrip=-2)` turns
`refs/tags/foo` into `tags/foo` and `%(refname:rstrip=-1)`
turns `refs/tags/foo` into `refs`). When the ref does not have
enough components, the result becomes an empty string if
stripping with positive <N>, or it becomes the full refname if
stripping with negative <N>. Neither is an error.
+
`strip` can be used as a synonym to `lstrip`.
objecttype::
The type of the object (`blob`, `tree`, `commit`, `tag`).
objectsize::
The size of the object (the same as 'git cat-file -s' reports).
Append `:disk` to get the size, in bytes, that the object takes up on
disk. See the note about on-disk sizes in the `CAVEATS` section below.
objectname::
The object name (aka SHA-1).
For a non-ambiguous abbreviation of the object name append `:short`.
For an abbreviation of the object name with desired length append
`:short=<length>`, where the minimum length is MINIMUM_ABBREV. The
length may be exceeded to ensure unique object names.
deltabase::
This expands to the object name of the delta base for the
given object, if it is stored as a delta. Otherwise it
expands to the null object name (all zeroes).
upstream::
The name of a local ref which can be considered ``upstream''
from the displayed ref. Respects `:short`, `:lstrip` and
`:rstrip` in the same way as `refname` above. Additionally
respects `:track` to show "[ahead N, behind M]" and
`:trackshort` to show the terse version: ">" (ahead), "<"
(behind), "<>" (ahead and behind), or "=" (in sync). `:track`
also prints "[gone]" whenever unknown upstream ref is
encountered. Append `:track,nobracket` to show tracking
information without brackets (i.e "ahead N, behind M").
+
For any remote-tracking branch `%(upstream)`, `%(upstream:remotename)`
and `%(upstream:remoteref)` refer to the name of the remote and the
name of the tracked remote ref, respectively. In other words, the
remote-tracking branch can be updated explicitly and individually by
using the refspec `%(upstream:remoteref):%(upstream)` to fetch from
`%(upstream:remotename)`.
+
Has no effect if the ref does not have tracking information associated
with it. All the options apart from `nobracket` are mutually exclusive,
but if used together the last option is selected.
push::
The name of a local ref which represents the `@{push}`
location for the displayed ref. Respects `:short`, `:lstrip`,
`:rstrip`, `:track`, `:trackshort`, `:remotename`, and `:remoteref`
options as `upstream` does. Produces an empty string if no `@{push}`
ref is configured.
HEAD::
'*' if HEAD matches current ref (the checked out branch), ' '
otherwise.
color::
Change output color. Followed by `:<colorname>`, where color
names are described under Values
