git-branchless-query(1)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is the git-branchless-query(1) page from the General Commands Manual, and we're talking about query — Query the commit graph using the "revset" language and print matching commits. No cap, that's the whole vibe. 💅

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

query [--hidden] [-b|--branches] [-r|--raw] [-h|--help] <REVSET>

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Query the commit graph using the "revset" language and print matching commits. It's giving “ask the commit graph a little question and get matching commits back.” 🦋

If you wanna learn more about revsets, the original points you to https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Reference:-Revsets — go read that, iykyk.

The outputted commits are guaranteed to be topologically sorted, with ancestor commits appearing first. So like, ancestors show up before their descendants — topo order, periodt. 👑

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --hidden — Include hidden commits in the results of evaluating revset expressions. Yes, even the hidden ones, bestie. 🙈
• -b, --branches — Print the branches attached to the resulting commits, rather than the commits themselves. Branch info instead of commit info, slay. 🌸
• -r, --raw — Print the OID of each matching commit, one per line. This output is stable for use in scripts, so it's the main-character choice for scripting. 🔥
• -h, --help — Print help (see a summary with '-h'). Cute. 💖
• <REVSET> — The query to execute. That's the actual revset you're feeding in. ✨

okay bye bestie 🫶 — footer source/version sign-off: query · git-branchless-query(1); the original footer has no date, so I'm not inventing one. 💀💜
