GIT-VERSION(1)                  Git Manual                 GIT-VERSION(1)

NAME top

       git-version - Display version information about Git

SYNOPSIS top

       git version [--build-options]

DESCRIPTION top

       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 top

       --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>.
