git-show:tldr:85157

The command "git show ${branch}~${3}" is used to display the specific commit in a Git repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "git show" is a Git command that is used to display information about a specific commit or an object in the repository.
• "${branch}" is a placeholder for the name of a branch in the repository. You need to replace it with the actual branch name you want to reference.
• "~" is a Git syntax that represents the parent commit. For example, "~1" refers to the parent commit of the specified branch, "~2" refers to the grandparent commit, and so on.
• "${3}" represents the number of commits ago you want to reference. It could be replaced with any positive integer. For example, if you set "${3}" to 3, it means you want to refer to the commit three steps behind the specified branch.

Combining these elements, "git show ${branch}~${3}" fetches information about a specific commit in a Git repository by going back a specified number of commits from a particular branch.
