How do I find the version of Git repo

I cloned a git repository yesterday and am using it in Ubuntu. I need to find the version of that cloned repository I am using. What is the command for that?

Maybe git describe would be helpful for what you want to do?

See for more information the official documentation here.

git describe --long // outputs for example: v1.0.4-14-g2414721

As you can read in the documentation the --long argument will do the following:

Always output the long format (the tag, the number of commits and the abbreviated commit name) even when it matches a tag.

So in the example output above the latest tagged version is v1.0.4; there are 14 commits on top and commit hash is g2414721.

You can use the more common git log -1 or the less used git rev-parse HEAD

If you have not pushed yes, you can check the version of origin/master, or of FETCH_HEAD (see FETCH_HEAD)

cd /path/to/your/local/cloned/repo
git rev-parse origin/master
git rev-parse FETCH_HEAD

That will give you the commit ID (SHA1) of what was last fetched.
