.. _geogig-show: geogig-show documentation ######################### SYNOPSIS ******** geogig show DESCRIPTION *********** Displays a description of the passed reference. The reference can be a feature, a tree, or a commit. In the case of a tree, the default feature type is described along with some other characteristics of the tree. To get a machine-readable description of an element in a geogig repository, the ``cat`` command can be used instead The reference can be a SHA-1, a full refspec, or just a path. If a path is used, it's assumed to refer to an element in the working head. OPTIONS ******* --raw Shows a raw machine-readable description instead. This matches the output of the ``cat`` command, except in the case of a feature, where it includes the names of the feature attributes, while the ``cat`` command includes the type of them and not the names. The ``show`` command always outputs a decorated version including attribute names taken from the corresponding feature type. SEE ALSO ******** :ref:`geogig-cat` BUGS **** Discussion is still open.
