| 6 | git-rev-list - Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | [verse] |
| 12 | 'git rev-list' [<options>] <commit>... [--] [<path>...] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | ----------- |
| 16 | |
| 17 | :git-rev-list: 1 |
| 18 | include::rev-list-description.adoc[] |
| 19 | |
| 20 | 'rev-list' is an essential Git command, since it |
| 21 | provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For |
| 22 | this reason, it has a lot of different options that enable it to be |
| 23 | used by commands as different as 'git bisect' and |
| 24 | 'git repack'. |
| 25 | |

| 34 | EXAMPLES |
| 35 | -------- |
| 36 | |
| 37 | * Print the list of commits reachable from the current branch. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | ---------- |
| 40 | git rev-list HEAD |
| 41 | ---------- |
| 42 | |
| 43 | * Print the list of commits on this branch, but not present in the |
| 44 | upstream branch. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | ---------- |
| 47 | git rev-list @{upstream}..HEAD |
| 48 | ---------- |
| 49 | |
| 50 | * Format commits with their author and commit message (see also the |
| 51 | porcelain linkgit:git-log[1]). |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | ---------- |
| 54 | git rev-list --format=medium HEAD |
| 55 | ---------- |
| 56 | |
| 57 | * Format commits along with their diffs (see also the porcelain |
| 58 | linkgit:git-log[1], which can do this in a single process). |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | ---------- |
| 61 | git rev-list HEAD | |
| 62 | git diff-tree --stdin --format=medium -p |
| 63 | ---------- |
| 64 | |
| 65 | * Print the list of commits on the current branch that touched any |
| 66 | file in the `Documentation` directory. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | ---------- |
| 69 | git rev-list HEAD -- Documentation/ |
| 70 | ---------- |
| 71 | |
| 72 | * Print the list of commits authored by you in the past year, on |
| 73 | any branch, tag, or other ref. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | ---------- |
| 76 | git rev-list --author=you@example.com --since=1.year.ago --all |
| 77 | ---------- |
| 78 | |
| 79 | * Print the list of objects reachable from the current branch (i.e., all |
| 80 | commits and the blobs and trees they contain). |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | ---------- |
| 83 | git rev-list --objects HEAD |
| 84 | ---------- |
| 85 | |
| 86 | * Compare the disk size of all reachable objects, versus those |
| 87 | reachable from reflogs, versus the total packed size. This can tell |
| 88 | you whether running `git repack -ad` might reduce the repository size |
| 89 | (by dropping unreachable objects), and whether expiring reflogs might |
| 90 | help. |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | ---------- |
| 93 | # reachable objects |
| 94 | git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --all |
| 95 | # plus reflogs |
| 96 | git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --all --reflog |
| 97 | # total disk size used |
| 98 | du -c .git/objects/pack/*.pack .git/objects/??/* |
| 99 | # alternative to du: add up "size" and "size-pack" fields |
| 100 | git count-objects -v |
| 101 | ---------- |
| 102 | |
| 103 | * Report the disk size of each branch, not including objects used by the |
| 104 | current branch. This can find outliers that are contributing to a |
| 105 | bloated repository size (e.g., because somebody accidentally committed |
| 106 | large build artifacts). |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | ---------- |
| 109 | git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' | |
| 110 | while read branch |
| 111 | do |
| 112 | size=$(git rev-list --disk-usage --objects HEAD..$branch) |
| 113 | echo "$size $branch" |
| 114 | done | |
| 115 | sort -n |
| 116 | ---------- |
| 117 | |
| 118 | * Compare the on-disk size of branches in one group of refs, excluding |
| 119 | another. If you co-mingle objects from multiple remotes in a single |
| 120 | repository, this can show which remotes are contributing to the |
| 121 | repository size (taking the size of `origin` as a baseline). |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | ---------- |
| 124 | git rev-list --disk-usage --objects --remotes=$suspect --not --remotes=origin |
| 125 | ---------- |
