How to find a Revisionnr. of a Commit

[bernd]

How do I get the revision number of a commit? As an example may the number of the following commit

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_sf_m ... 520e05e9e2

It should be around 2600

Unlike Subversion git does not work with revision numbers but with sha1 values. To extract some kind of revision number which humans understand better we count the number of newlines of all listed sha1 values. So, to get this information you have to:

Code: Select all

git rev-list <sha1> | wc -l

which in your case is:

Code: Select all

git rev-list f654c632ba9366ba2527284424469d520e05e9e2 | wc -l

which gives you 2655

Ahh, I knew about the sh1 values. Counting the newlines ... That is why I couldn'd find anything in my git book. Thanks Werner

see viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12883&p=103207#p103203 if one would like to have a commitID from a revision nr.

Hmm. Some old thread. Anyway, here's how I usually get a revision number from commit:

Thanks przemo, haven't missed that opening the blob on github will show the revision id

Code: Select all

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree/Put_in_the_commitID

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree/bb05d1 shows revisionID 5560

It wasn't me, but I can take the credit
Mine solution below:

Code: Select all

[przemo@localhost freecad]$ git rev-list --count f654c632ba9366ba2527284424469d520e05e9e2 
2655

Necro-bumping this thread in case ones could be interested in getting a commit number without having to use git (and mainly having to git-clone FC).
I issued a very simple way to get it at HEAD or at a specific SHA.
For Windows users, cURL & sed can be downloaded from GoW.

Hope that helps.

I issued a very simple way to get it at HEAD or at a specific SHA.

It's two lines. You know you can just post it in this thread inside code tags...

Code: Select all

curl -I -k "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?per_page=1" | sed -n '/^Link:/ s/.*"next".*page=\([0-9]*\).*"last".*/\1/p'

### And that's all !
# I saw many fighting with finding first commit SHA or similar fancy thing.
# Here we just rely on the GH API, asking commits at 1 per page and parsing the last page number in the header of the reply (whose body only holds the last commit !)
# So this is robust and bandwidth efficient. :)

# If one want the commit count of a specific SHA, just use :
curl -I -k "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?per_page=1&sha=:sha" | sed -n '/^Link:/ s/.*"next".*page=\([0-9]*\).*"last".*/\1/p'
