My Git HEAD is pointing to a commit that is not the last one committed so I would like to get that commit. Is it possible through the GitLab API? If so how can I do it from Python or a curl command?

In case GitLab does not provide any mechanism to do so, how can I do it using a Git command from Python?

are you looking for `git rev-parse HEAD` ? – LeGEC May 08 '23 at 14:08
@LeGEC yep, i found it here as well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21901260/1624552 – Willy May 08 '23 at 14:10
or `git ls-remote origin HEAD` ? – phd May 08 '23 at 14:11
Or may be [Get a single commit API call](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/commits.html#get-a-single-commit) with `:sha` being `HEAD`. – phd May 08 '23 at 14:18
@LeGEC your solution works. Also see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21901260/1624552 – Willy May 10 '23 at 20:17
