Имя (Name)

git-symbolic-ref - Read, modify and delete symbolic refs

Синопсис (Synopsis)

git symbolic-ref [-m <reason>] <name> <ref>
       git symbolic-ref [-q] [--short] <name>
       git symbolic-ref --delete [-q] <name>

Описание (Description)

Given one argument, reads which branch head the given symbolic
       ref refers to and outputs its path, relative to the .git/
       directory. Typically you would give HEAD as the <name> argument
       to see which branch your working tree is on.

Given two arguments, creates or updates a symbolic ref <name> to point at the given branch <ref>.

Given --delete and an additional argument, deletes the given symbolic ref.

A symbolic ref is a regular file that stores a string that begins with ref: refs/. For example, your .git/HEAD is a regular file whose contents is ref: refs/heads/master.


Параметры (Options)

-d, --delete
           Delete the symbolic ref <name>.

-q, --quiet Do not issue an error message if the <name> is not a symbolic ref but a detached HEAD; instead exit with non-zero status silently.

--short When showing the value of <name> as a symbolic ref, try to shorten the value, e.g. from refs/heads/master to master.

-m Update the reflog for <name> with <reason>. This is valid only when creating or updating a symbolic ref.


Примечание (Note)

In the past, .git/HEAD was a symbolic link pointing at
       refs/heads/master. When we wanted to switch to another branch, we
       did ln -sf refs/heads/newbranch .git/HEAD, and when we wanted to
       find out which branch we are on, we did readlink .git/HEAD. But
       symbolic links are not entirely portable, so they are now
       deprecated and symbolic refs (as described above) are used by
       default.

git symbolic-ref will exit with status 0 if the contents of the symbolic ref were printed correctly, with status 1 if the requested name is not a symbolic ref, or 128 if another error occurs.
