# Get a commit object

`GET /projects/{projectId}/git/commits/{repositoryCommitId}`

Retrieve, by hash, an object representing a commit in the repository backing
a project. This endpoint functions similarly to `git cat-file -p <commit-id>`.
The returned object contains the hash of the Git tree that it
belongs to, as well as the ID of parent commits.

The commit represented by a parent ID can be retrieved using this
endpoint, while the tree state represented by this commit can
be retrieved using the
[Get a tree object](#tag/Git-Repo%2Fpaths%2F~1projects~1%7BprojectId%7D~1git~1trees~1%7BrepositoryTreeId%7D%2Fget)
endpoint.
