How to get parent of specific commit in Git?

Question

I have commit number. I would like to get previous commit number(parent). I need commits from current branch.

Answer 1

To get the parent, just add a ^ after the commit SHA of the commit you want to see.

To see a commit: git show Example: git show bb05425c504575145d005c0a887e0a80b885ced0

To see the parent: git show ^
Example: git show bb05425c504575145d005c0a887e0a80b885ced0^
