I clone my source using git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/core.git w/. Then I specify a specific branch/tag by doing git checkout <tag name> or git checkout origin/REL<release number>. Sometimes I forget what branch I’m on.
In SVN I would do a svn info to figure out what branch I’m using.
How do I determine what branch/tag I am on?
tells you what branch you’re on (with a
*marker).Tags are just names for revisions, so Git won’t tell you that you’re “on” a tag, but you can use
git name-rev HEADto get a sense for what it might be.
