# git name-rev
> Describe a commit using existing ref names.
> More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-name-rev>.
- Show the name for `HEAD`:
`git name-rev HEAD`
- Show only the name:
`git name-rev --name-only HEAD`
- Enumerate all matching ref names:
`git name-rev --all`
- Use only tags to name the commit:
`git name-rev --tags HEAD`
- Exit with a non-zero status code instead of printing `undefined` for unknown commits:
`git name-rev --no-undefined {{commit-ish}}`
- Show names for multiple commits:
`git name-rev HEAD~1 HEAD~2 main`
- Restrict names to branch refs:
`git name-rev --refs refs/heads/ {{commit-ish}}`
- Read commit IDs from `stdin`:
`echo "{{commit-ish}}" | git name-rev --annotate-stdin`
