Show a git log with offsets relative to HEAD

• Show a git log with offsets relative to HEAD

  Print a git log (in reverse order) giving a reference relative to HEAD. HEAD (the current revision) can also be referred to as HEAD~0 The previous revision is HEAD~1 then HEAD~2 etc. . Add line numbers to the git output, starting at zero: ... | nl -v0 | ... . Insert the string 'HEAD~' before the number using sed: ... | sed 's/^ \+/&HEAD~/' . Thanks to bartonski for the idea :-) Show Sample Output

  This is sample output - yours may be different.

  $ git log --oneline | nl -v0 | sed 's/^ \+/&HEAD~/' | head
       HEAD~0	8005c49 Linux 4.4-rc1
       HEAD~1	0ca9b67 Merge branch 'perf-urgent-for-linus'
       HEAD~2	051b29f Merge branch 'sched-urgent-for-linus'
