# stg-id(1)

Print the git hash value of a StGit reference

## NAME

stg-id - Print the git hash value of a StGit reference

## SYNOPSIS

```
stg id [options] [--] [<id>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Print the SHA1 value of a Git id (defaulting to HEAD). In addition to the standard Git id’s like heads and tags, this command also accepts *\[\<branch\>:\]\<patch\>* for the id of a patch, *\[\<branch\>:\]{base}* for the base of the stack and *\[\<branch\>:\]{public}* for the public branch corresponding to the stack (see the *publish* command for details). If no branch is specified, it defaults to the current one. The bottom of a patch is accessible with the *\[\<branch\>:\]\<patch\>^* format.
