+.SH NAME
+git-describe \- Show the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+
+
+git\-describe [\-\-all] [\-\-tags] [\-\-abbrev=<n>] <committish>...
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+
+
+The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit, and if the commit itself is pointed at by the tag, shows the tag\&. Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with abbreviated object name of the commit\&.
+
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+
+.TP
+<committish>
+The object name of the comittish\&.
+
+.TP
+\-\-all
+Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any ref found in \&.git/refs/\&.
+
+.TP
+\-\-tags
+Instead of using only the annotated tags, use any tag found in \&.git/refs/tags\&.
+
+.TP
+\-\-abbrev=<n>
+Instead of using the default 8 hexadecimal digits as the abbreviated object name, use <n> digits\&.
+
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+
+
+With something like git\&.git current tree, I get:
+
+.nf
+[torvalds@g5 git]$ git\-describe parent
+v1\&.0\&.4\-g2414721b
+.fi
+
+
+i\&.e\&. the current head of my "parent" branch is based on v1\&.0\&.4, but since it has a few commits on top of that, it has added the git hash of the thing to the end: "\-g" + 8\-char shorthand for the commit 2414721b194453f058079d897d13c4e377f92dc6\&.
+
+
+Doing a "git\-describe" on a tag\-name will just show the tag name:
+
+.nf
+[torvalds@g5 git]$ git\-describe v1\&.0\&.4
+v1\&.0\&.4
+.fi
+
+
+With \-\-all, the command can use branch heads as references, so the output shows the reference path as well:
+
+.nf
+[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe \-\-all \-\-abbrev=4 v1\&.0\&.5^2
+tags/v1\&.0\&.0\-g975b
+.fi
+
+.nf
+[torvalds@g5 git]$ git describe \-\-all HEAD^
+heads/lt/describe\-g975b
+.fi
+
+.SH "AUTHOR"
+
+
+Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl\&.org>, but somewhat butchered by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox\&.net>
+
+.SH "DOCUMENTATION"
+
+
+Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git\-list <git@vger\&.kernel\&.org>\&.
+
+.SH "GIT"
+
+
+Part of the \fBgit\fR(7) suite
