===================

NAME
|
||||
----
|
||||
git-symbolic-ref - Read, modify and delete symbolic refs
|
||||
|
||||
SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
[verse]
|
||||
'git symbolic-ref' [-m <reason>] <name> <ref>
|
||||
'git symbolic-ref' [-q] [--short] [--no-recurse] <name>
|
||||
'git symbolic-ref' --delete [-q] <name>
|
||||
|
||||
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 content is `ref: refs/heads/master`.
|
||||
|
||||
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`.
|
||||
|
||||
--recurse::
|
||||
--no-recurse::
|
||||
When showing the value of <name> as a symbolic ref, if
|
||||
<name> refers to another symbolic ref, follow such a chain
|
||||
of symbolic refs until the result no longer points at a
|
||||
symbolic ref (`--recurse`, which is the default).
|
||||
`--no-recurse` stops after dereferencing only a single level
|
||||
of symbolic ref.
|
||||
|
||||
-m::
|
||||
Update the reflog for <name> with <reason>. This is valid only
|
||||
when creating or updating a symbolic ref.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTES
|
||||
-----
|
||||
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.
