1git-get-tar-commit-id(1) 2======================== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-get-tar-commit-id - Extract commit ID from an archive created using git-archive 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git get-tar-commit-id' < <tarfile> 12 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16Acts as a filter, extracting the commit ID stored in archives created by 17'git archive'. It reads only the first 1024 bytes of input, thus its 18runtime is not influenced by the size of <tarfile> very much. 19 20If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a 21return code of 1. This can happen if <tarfile> had not been created 22using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been 23a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. 24 25 26Author 27------ 28Written by Rene Scharfe <rene.scharfe@lsrfire.ath.cx> 29 30Documentation 31-------------- 32Documentation by Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 33 34GIT 35--- 36Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
