git-branchless-query1

Query the commit graph using the "revset" language and print matching commits

Usage

query [--hidden] [{-b | --branches}] [{-r | --raw}] [{-h | --help}] <REVSET>

Overview

Query the commit graph using the "revset" language and print matching commits.

See https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Reference:-Revsets to learn more about revsets.

The outputted commits are guaranteed to be topologically sorted, with ancestor commits appearing first.

Options

--hidden

Include hidden commits in the results of evaluating revset expressions

-b, --branches

Print the branches attached to the resulting commits, rather than the commits themselves

-r, --raw

Print the OID of each matching commit, one per line. This output is stable for use in scripts

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

<REVSET>
