The question then is: what is the command to report the current SHA1?
Note I never branch in the HTML repo, it's entirely linear.

If the "current SHA1" means "the SHA1 of the most recent commit in the
current branch" then usually

    git show

is the simplest way. There are many ways to print _only_ the SHA1.
Examples:

    git log -1 --pretty=format:%H
    git rev-list -1 HEAD

For listing a single commit, I usually think of show and rev-parse
before using commands that list multiple commits. (Of course, having
to use --quiet doesn't make show any shorter than log -1.)

    git rev-parse HEAD
    git show --quiet --pretty=format:%H
