|  | .sp | 
|  | With no options given, the version of \fIgit\fR is printed on the standard output\&. | 
|  | .sp | 
|  | Note that \fBgit\fR \fB\-\-version\fR is identical to \fBgit\fR \fBversion\fR because the former is internally converted into the latter\&. |

|  | .PP | 
|  | \-\-build\-options | 
|  | .RS 4 | 
|  | Include additional information about how git was built for diagnostic purposes\&. | 
|  | .sp | 
|  | The libraries used to implement the SHA\-1 and SHA\-256 algorithms are displayed in the form | 
|  | \fBSHA\-1:\fR | 
|  | \fI<option>\fR | 
|  | and | 
|  | \fBSHA\-256:\fR | 
|  | \fI<option>\fR\&. Note that the SHA\-1 options | 
|  | \fBSHA1_APPLE\fR, | 
|  | \fBSHA1_OPENSSL\fR, and | 
|  | \fBSHA1_BLK\fR | 
|  | 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 | 
|  | \fBnon\-collision\-detecting\-SHA\-1:\fR | 
|  | \fI<option>\fR\&. |
