Convenient URL shorteners for git.kernel.org

There is a simple framework of convenient URL shortcuts for git.kernel.org, for repositories hosted in pub/scm/linux/kernel/git (where most Linux trees are).

/c/ for commits

/[name]/c/[sha1]        -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/linux.git/commit/?id=[sha1]
/[name]/[repo]/c/[sha1] -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/[repo].git/commit/?id=[sha1]

If [repo] is omitted, “linux.git” is assumed.

Examples

• https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/4f27395

• https://git.kernel.org/tip/tip/c/2923b27

The commit can be a full sha1 or at least 7 chars long; it can also be a tag name or any other tree object, e.g.:

https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/c/v4.2-rc1

/p/ for patches

/[name]/p/[sha1]        -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/linux.git/patch/?id=[sha1]
/[name]/[repo]/p/[sha1] -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/[repo].git/patch/?id=[sha1]

If [repo] is omitted, “linux.git” is assumed.

Examples

• https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/p/4f27395

• https://git.kernel.org/tip/tip/p/2923b27

/h/ for Head Trees

/[name]/h/[head]        -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/linux.git/tree/?h=[head]
/[name]/[repo]/h/[head] -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/[repo].git/tree/?h=[head]

If [repo] is omitted, “linux.git” is assumed.

Examples

• https://git.kernel.org/clk/h/clk-next

• https://git.kernel.org/next/linux-next/h/stable

/l/ for Head Logs

/[name]/l/[head]        -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/linux.git/log/?h=[head]
/[name]/[repo]/l/[head] -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/[repo].git/log/?h=[head]

If [repo] is omitted, “linux.git” is assumed.

Examples

• https://git.kernel.org/clk/l/clk-next

• https://git.kernel.org/next/linux-next/l/stable

/d/ and /ds/ for diff and diffstat

/[name]/d/[id1]/[id2]        -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/linux.git/diff/id=[id1]&id2=[id2]
/[name]/[repo]/d/[id1]/[id2] -> /pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/[name]/[repo].git/diff/id=[id1]&id2=[id2]

Both [id1] and [id2] would normally be tags, but can be a full sha1 or at least 7 chars long. Use /ds/ for “stat only” view (e.g. when full diff is way too huge to be reasonably useful for anything).

If [repo] is omitted, “linux.git” is assumed.

Examples

• https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/ds/v4.5-rc1/v4.4

• https://git.kernel.org/tip/tip/d/v4.18-rc2/v4.18-rc1
