git-update-ref: Update ref with a message.
$ git update-ref -m ${message} ${HEAD} ${4e95e05}
try on your machine

The command "git update-ref -m ${message} ${HEAD} ${4e95e05}" is used in Git to update the reference of a branch or a tag with a new commit hash or reference.

  • "git update-ref" is the command to update a reference in Git.
  • "-m ${message}" specifies the commit message for the update. You should replace ${message} with an actual commit message enclosed in quotes.
  • "${HEAD}" is the reference to the branch or tag that you want to update. It can be a branch name like "master" or a tag name like "v1.0". You should replace ${HEAD} with the actual reference you want to update.
  • "${4e95e05}" is the new commit hash or reference that you want to set as the new value for the specified ${HEAD}. You should replace ${4e95e05} with the desired commit hash or reference.

By running this command, the reference ${HEAD} will be updated to point to the commit or reference with the hash ${4e95e05}, and the associated message will be displayed for the update.
