For example, in a git worktree of Linux Kernel.

$ git checkout v2.6.6
$ git checkout v3.3

How to find the last head name or HASHID in current branch v3.3? In the example above, it should get v2.6.6 or the HASHID for v2.6.6.

Thanks.

    Every time you move the head git records it in the reflog.

    $ git reflog

    If you were to run this command after the commands in your question, the old commit hash would be on the second line down and will reference the tag you were moving to.

    For example

    ff06760 HEAD@{0}: checkout: moving from 9b49c22462f5dd73ff18eacff5983f141f98cb82 to v3.3
9b49c22 HEAD@{1}: checkout: moving from ff06760cd0db8cef49915e68886c66c09b1cade1 to v2.6.6
