| ============== | |
| 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>`. | |
