DESCRIPTION
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.
OPTIONS
- --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>andSHA-256: <option>. Note that the SHA-1 optionsSHA1_APPLE,SHA1_OPENSSL, andSHA1_BLKdo 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 formnon-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>.
