git-annex-version(1)

💖 git-annex-version(1) — General Commands Manual 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the page for git-annex-version, the little command that just tells you what version you're running. yes it's a whole manpage for that. no i will not be normal about it. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

git-annex-version — show version info 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

git annex version

that's it. that's the whole vibe. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Shows the version of git-annex, plus the repository version info too. so you get both the "what am i running" tea and the "what's this repo doing" tea in one go, no cap.

git-annex's version is in the form MAJOR.DATE, where MAJOR is a number like 5, which corresponds to the current repository version, and DATE is the date of the last release, like 20150320. 📅

Daily builds of git-annex will append a -gREF to the version, which corresponds to the git ref from git-annex's source repository that was built. so 5.20150320-gdd35cf3 is a daily build, and 5.20150401 is an April 1st release made a bit later. 🌈 the -gREF part is literally just "hey this is a fresh-from-the-oven build, here's the exact commit it came from" — iykyk.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

• --raw — Causes only git-annex's version to be output, and nothing else. just the number, ma'am. no extra chatter. 👑

Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used. go read that one too bestie, it's giving options galore. 🫶
