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[verse] 12'git get-tar-commit-id' 13 14 15DESCRIPTION 16----------- 17 18Read a tar archive created by 'git archive' from the standard input 19and extract the commit ID stored in it. It reads only the first 201024 bytes of input, thus its runtime is not influenced by the size 21of the tar archive very much. 22 23If no commit ID is found, 'git get-tar-commit-id' quietly exists with a 24return code of 1. This can happen if the archive had not been created 25using 'git archive' or if the first parameter of 'git archive' had been 26a tree ID instead of a commit ID or tag. 27 28GIT 29--- 30Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
