Type Alias DescribeFlag

Flags used with the git describe command to modify its behavior.

These control how Git generates the description of a commit.

• --tags: Use any tag (including lightweight tags).
• --all: Use any ref (tags, branches, etc.).
• --long: Always output long format (tag + number of commits + hash).
• --dirty: Mark the working tree as dirty if it has local changes.
• --exact-match: Only output the tag if the commit matches exactly.
• --always: Fallback to abbreviated commit hash if no tag is found.
• --first-parent: Follow only the first parent upon traversal.
• --dirty=<mark>: Use a custom suffix instead of "-dirty".
• --abbrev=<n>: Set the hash abbreviation length.
• --match=<pattern>: Only consider tags matching the given glob pattern.
• --candidates=<n>: Limit the number of candidate tags considered.
