webpack.config.js

const GitVersionWebpackPlugin = require('@lingxiteam/git-version-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  entry: 'index.js',
  output: {
    path: __dirname + '/dist',
    filename: 'index_bundle.js'
  },
  plugins: [
    new GitVersionWebpackPlugin({
        env: (gitInfo) => gitInfo,
        file: (gitInfo) => ({name: 'gitInfo.json', content: gitInfo })
    })
  ]
}

{
  "branchName": "master",
  "commitId": "bc7ec81d3f58b9b0e38a31af2fefb77535d0bc7d",
  "author": "xxx",
