Must be run with admin priviledges.

githash - get the short or full SHA for any commit in your current branch's history

githash

Easily get the short or full SHA for any commit in your current branch's history, useful for reverting and sharing specific code states with others.

Why?

Because typing out git rev-list --max-count=1 --abbrev-commit --skip=# HEAD takes far too much effort.
