Linux kernel git recipes

Hello,

For those who are interested, these are some simple recipes for the git program with Linux kernel repository that I found useful:

• List share tags with creator name and creation date/time:

  Code:

  git log --tags --simplify-by-decoration --pretty="format:%ci %cn %d"

• List commits for files stored in a directory or single file(s) between two release tags (6.7.12 and v6.9.3 in the example, excluding commits related to the first release tag); it shows commit ID (short format), author date (short format), subject (see "PRETTY FORMAT" in man git-log):

  Code:

  git log --format="%h %as %s" v6.7.12..v6.9.3 -- ./path/to/directory/ git log --format="%h %as %s" v6.7.12..v6.9.3 -- ./path/to/file

• Get the first tag assigned after a commit (which therefore contains the commit)

  Code:

  $ git describe --contains 9e6f4c8

• List all tags containing a commit (starting with the first tag issued after the commit):

  Code:

  $ git tag --contains 9e6f4c8
