git-version - Display version information about Git
git version [--build-options]
With no options given, the version of git is printed on the standard output.
Note that git --version is identical to git version because the former is internally converted into the latter.
Include additional information about how git was built for diagnostic purposes.
The libraries used to implement the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms are displayed in the form SHA-1: <option> and SHA-256: <option>. Note that the SHA-1 options SHA1_APPLE, SHA1_OPENSSL, and SHA1_BLK do not use a collision detection algorithm and thus may be vulnerable to known SHA-1 collision attacks. When a faster SHA-1 implementation without collision detection is used for only non-cryptographic purposes, the algorithm is displayed in the form non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>.
