NAME
       git-version - Display version information about Git

SYNOPSIS
       git version [--build-options]

DESCRIPTION
       With no options given, the version of git is printed on the standard output.

       Note that git --version is identical to git version because the former is internally converted into
       the latter.

OPTIONS
       --build-options
	   Include additional information about how git was built for diagnostic purposes.

	   The libraries used to implement the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms are displayed in the form SHA-1:
	    and SHA-256: . Note that the SHA-1 options SHA1_APPLE, SHA1_OPENSSL, and
	   SHA1_BLK do not use a collision detection algorithm and thus may be vulnerable to known SHA-1
	   collision attacks. When a faster SHA-1 implementation without collision detection is used for
	   only non-cryptographic purposes, the algorithm is displayed in the form
	   non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: .
