> Get git tail hashes from your repository in reverse chronological order

It sucks when you could do `git show HEAD` but not `git show TAIL`. `git-tails` comes to the rescue!

Did you know that there could be more than one tails in your git repository?


## Install

```sh
$ npm install --save git-tails
```


## Usage

```js
var gitTails = require('git-tails');

gitTails(function(err, data) {
  console.log(data);
  //=> ['0cd33254f2df29272323dca4f052be70d9659174']
});

gitTails.sync()
//=> ['0cd33254f2df29272323dca4f052be70d9659174']
```

```sh
$ npm install --global git-tails
$ git-tails
0cd33254f2df29272323dca4f052be70d9659174
```

To get the earliest tail you just need to do

```js
gitTails(function(err, data) {
  console.log(data[data.length - 1]);
  //=> '0cd33254f2df29272323dca4f052be70d9659174'
});
```

If you know there is only one tails you could do

```sh
$ git show `git-tails`
```

Just like `git show HEAD`.
