Method Details

looksLikeShortGitHash

public static boolean looksLikeShortGitHash(String value)

Check whether the given input value looks like it is a short Git hash.

This method considers a short Git hash to be a 7-12 character long String containing only valid hexadecimal characters. Specifically, valid hexadecimal characters include digits 0-9 and lowercase letters a-f. We only look for lowercase letters because we have never once seen git display a commit hash with uppercase letters.
