	# The command finds the most recent tag that is reachable from a commit.
	# If the tag points to the commit, then only the tag is shown.
	# Otherwise, it suffixes the tag name with the number of additional commits on top of the tagged object
	# and the abbreviated object name of the most recent commit.
	git describe

	# With --abbrev set to 0, the command can be used to find the closest tagname without any suffix:
	git describe --abbrev=0

	# other examples

	# .bash_profile

	# Copy this file on the desired machine.
