10 --------
11 [verse]
12 'git show' [options] <object>...
14 DESCRIPTION
15 -----------
16 Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
18 For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
19 presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
20 'git diff-tree --cc'.
22 For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
24 For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree'
25 with \--name-only).
27 For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
29 The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to
30 control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.
32 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
