To show the details of a specific commit in Git, you can use the git show command followed by the commit hash. Here's the general syntax:

bash
git show <commit_hash>

Replace <commit_hash> with the actual hash of the commit you want to inspect. You can find the commit hash by using commands like git log or git reflog.

For example:

bash
git show abc123

This command will display detailed information about the specified commit, including the commit message, author, date, and the changes introduced by the commit.

If you want a more concise overview of the commit information, you can use git log with the commit hash:

bash
git log -1 --pretty=fuller <commit_hash>

Again, replace <commit_hash> with the actual commit hash you are interested in. The -1 option ensures only one commit is displayed, and --pretty=fuller provides a more detailed output.

Remember to replace <commit_hash> with the actual commit hash you want to inspect.
