Get the Git Commit ID via Command Line
I know just enough git to be dangerous. I'm not doing advanced bisecting but I can stash, rebase, and reset with the best of them. One new trick I learned from my boss, Luke Crouch, saves me loads of time: getting the commit ID via command line. For years I would merge a PR, go the project's main page, and copy the commit ID so that I could push code to staging and production. Always seemed like an extra step rather than just making it happen from the terminal. Here's the magical command:

![Reverse Element Order with CSS Flexbox]()
CSS is becoming more and more powerful these days, almost to the point where the order of HTML elements output to the page no longer matters from a display standpoint -- CSS lets you do so much that almost any layout, large or small, is possible. Semantics...
On Mac, you should try this, it will copy the commit ID to your clipboard:
Also you can use short version of git hash:
I miss working a Mac, but Windows is working out just great too.
To shorten things further, you can use @ as an abbreviation of HEAD.
