| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-version - Display version information about Git |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git version' [--build-options] |
| |
| 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>` and `SHA-256: <option>`. Note that the SHA-1 |
| options `SHA1_APPLE`, `SHA1_OPENSSL`, and `SHA1_BLK` do 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 form |
| `non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>`. |
