git question
i want to show the current revision of a file
and the previous revision of a file
git show HEAD~6:db/catalog_items/karastan_carpets.tsv
git show HEAD~7:db/catalog_items/karastan_carpets.tsv
at the moment these two commands give me what I want
but as commits are made the 6 and 7 will change
what is the git treeish syntax for "current revision" and "previous revision"?
does such a thing even exist?
