Hi All,
I am trying to write a script to tell me the latest revision
showing on
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis/-/tree/master
which is 'virtio-win: rebase on 0.164", but I can only see this
from a web browser, as the page is dynamic.
I do have access to the git link on that page:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis.git
Does git (or some other) have a way of telling me
JUST the revision without having to download the turkey?
If I could get something that contained
virtio-win: rebase on 0.164
I could dig out the revision
Many thanks,
-T

If you just want the commit ID, you can use for example:
$ git ls-remote
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis.git
refs/heads/master
f6ad44f35f5caeec51b7002169977272d85701a3 refs/heads/master
> If I could get something that contained
> virtio-win: rebase on 0.164
> I could dig out the revision
You might also want to take a look at the GitLab API docs, for example:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html
Best,
Christian.

Hi Christian,
I do not mean to be dense, but how do I get
"virtio-win: rebase on 0.164" out of:
" f6ad44f35f5caeec51b7002169977272d85701a3 refs/heads/master"?
Perplexed,

Found something that worked:
$ curl --silent
'https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis/-/commits/master'
| grep rebase

If I needed more information than just the commit ID, I would use the
GitLab API, especially:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html#get-a-single-commit
So you might want to customize this example command:
$ curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>"
"https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/5/repository/commits/master"

That seems to be the commit subject. One simple way would be to use
git log in a clone of the repo:
git log -1 --pretty=format:%s origin/master
You can also use git cat-file to get a bit more output (commit id,
tree id, author and committer info, full commit message):
git cat-file -p origin/master

I'd probably use an API provided by the hosting service in this case, as
Christian recommended, since it will be the most efficient route. But
just for the sake of completeness, if you wanted to limit yourself only
to Git commands, you could make a partial shallow clone of a single
branch like this:
git clone --bare --depth 1 --filter=tree:0 \
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis.git
cd spice-nsis.git
git log -1 --format=%s
That should fetch only a single object. You only get the HEAD branch
because --depth implies --single-branch. You can use "clone -b" to get a
different branch if you want.

no idea what the " <your_access_token>" is.

This is a mailing list about Git, not GitLab or other service
providers, so I don't want to go into too many details here. As I
already explained you should look at the docs for more details.
Alternatively you can google it or ask in a GitLab forum or to GitLab
support if you have paid for that.

This simulates what I came up with in my actual code:
$ curl --silent
'https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis/-/commits/master'
| raku -ne 'my Str $x=slurp(); $x~~s/.*? "rebase on " //; $x~~s/
("</a>") .* //; print "$x\n";'
0.164
Thank you all for the tips!
