<p>A string that interpolates <code>%</code>(<code>fieldname</code>) from a ref being shown and
the object it points at. In addition, the string literal <code>%%</code>
renders as <code>%</code> and <code>%xx</code> - where <code>xx</code> are hex digits - renders as
the character with hex code <code>xx</code>. For example, <code>%00</code> interpolates to

deleted, modified or added between invocations. Output will only yield those
references which follow the marker lexicographically. Output begins from the
first reference that would come after the marker alphabetically. Cannot be

<h2 id="_field_names">FIELD NAMES</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Various values from structured fields in referenced objects can
be used to interpolate into the resulting output, or as sort
keys.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For all objects, the following names can be used:</p>
</div>
<div class="dlist">
<dl>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>refname</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The name of the ref (the part after <code>$GIT_DIR/</code>).
For a non-ambiguous short name of the ref append <code>:short</code>.
The option <code>core.warnAmbiguousRefs</code> is used to select the strict
abbreviation mode. If <code>lstrip=</code><em>&lt;n&gt;</em> (<code>rstrip=</code><em>&lt;n&gt;</em>) is appended, strip <em>&lt;n&gt;</em>
slash-separated path components from the front (back) of the refname
(e.g. <code>%</code>(<code>refname:lstrip=2</code>) turns <code>refs/tags/foo</code> into <code>foo</code> and
<code>%</code>(<code>refname:rstrip=2</code>) turns <code>refs/tags/foo</code> into <code>refs</code>).
If <em>&lt;n&gt;</em> is a negative number, strip as many path components as
necessary from the specified end to leave <code>-</code><em>&lt;n&gt;</em> path components
(e.g. <code>%</code>(<code>refname:lstrip=-2</code>) turns
<code>refs/tags/foo</code> into <code>tags/foo</code> and <code>%</code>(<code>refname:rstrip=-1</code>)
turns <code>refs/tags/foo</code> into <code>refs</code>). When the ref does not have
enough components, the result becomes an empty string if
stripping with positive <em>&lt;n&gt;</em>, or it becomes the full refname if
stripping with negative <em>&lt;N&gt;</em>.  Neither is an error.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p><code>strip</code> can be used as a synonym to <code>lstrip</code>.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objecttype</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The type of the object (<code>blob</code>, <code>tree</code>, <code>commit</code>, <code>tag</code>).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objectsize</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The size of the object (the same as <em>git cat-file -s</em> reports).
Append <code>:disk</code> to get the size, in bytes, that the object takes up on
disk. See the note about on-disk sizes in the <em>CAVEATS</em> section below.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>objectname</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The object name (aka SHA-1).
For a non-ambiguous abbreviation of the object name append <code>:short</code>.
For an abbreviation of the object name with desired length append
<code>:short=</code><em>&lt;length&gt;</em>, where the minimum length is <code>MINIMUM_ABBREV</code>. The
length may be exceeded to ensure unique object names.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>deltabase</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>This expands to the object name of the delta base for the
given object, if it is stored as a delta.  Otherwise it
expands to the null object name (all zeroes).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>upstream</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The name of a local ref which can be considered &#8220;upstream&#8221;
from the displayed ref. Respects <code>:short</code>, <code>:lstrip</code> and
<code>:rstrip</code> in the same way as <code>refname</code> above.  Additionally
respects <code>:track</code> to show "[ahead N, behind M]" and
<code>:trackshort</code> to show the terse version: "&gt;" (ahead), "&lt;"
(behind), "&lt;&gt;" (ahead and behind), or "=" (in sync). <code>:track</code>
also prints "[gone]" whenever unknown upstream ref is
encountered. Append <code>:track,nobracket</code> to show tracking
information without brackets (i.e "ahead N, behind M").</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For any remote-tracking branch <code>%</code>(<code>upstream</code>), <code>%</code>(<code>upstream:remotename</code>)
and <code>%</code>(<code>upstream:remoteref</code>) refer to the name of the remote and the
name of the tracked remote ref, respectively. In other words, the
remote-tracking branch can be updated explicitly and individually by
using the refspec <code>%</code>(<code>upstream:remoteref</code>)<code>:%</code>(<code>upstream</code>) to fetch from
<code>%</code>(<code>upstream:remotename</code>).</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Has no effect if the ref does not have tracking information associated
with it.  All the options apart from <code>nobracket</code> are mutually exclusive,
but if used together the last option is selected.</p>
</div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>push</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>The name of a local ref which represents the <code>@</code>{push}
location for the displayed ref. Respects <code>:short</code>, <code>:lstrip</code>,
<code>:rstrip</code>, <code>:track</code>, <code>:trackshort</code>, <code>:remotename</code>, and <code>:remoteref</code>
options as <code>upstream</code> does. Produces an empty string if no <code>@</code>{push}
ref is configured.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>HEAD</code></dt>
<dd>
<p><code>*</code> if <code>HEAD</code> matches current ref (the checked out branch), ' '
otherwise.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>color</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Change output color. Followed by <code>:</code><em>&lt;colorname&gt;</em>, where color
names are described under Values in the "CONFIGURATION FILE"
section of <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.  For example,
<code>%</code>(<code>color:bold</code> <code>red</code>).</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1"><code>align</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Left-, middle-, or right-align the content between
<code>%</code>(<code>align:</code><code>...</code>) and <code>%</code>(<code>end</code>). The "<code>align:</code>" is followed by
<code>width=</code><em>&lt;width&gt;</em> and <code>position=</code><em>&lt;position&gt;</em> in any order
separated by a comma, where the <em>&lt;position&gt;</em> is either <code>left</code>,

<p>In at most one row, (<em>&lt;commit-ish&gt;</em>) will appear to indicate the ref
that is most likely the ref used as a starting point for the branch
that produced <em>&lt;commit-ish&gt;</em>. This choice is made using a heuristic:
choose the ref that minimizes the number of commits in the
first-parent history of <em>&lt;commit-ish&gt;</em> and not in the first-parent
history of the ref.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>For example, consider the following figure of first-parent histories of
several refs:</p>

<p>Here, if <code>A</code>, <code>B</code>, and <code>C</code> are the filtered references, and the format

<pre>refs/heads/A:

earliest ref in the sorted order.</p>

corresponding <code>:mailmap,trim</code> and <code>:mailmap,localpart</code> can be used (order does
not matter) to get values of the name and email according to the .mailmap file
