git-rev-webpack-plugin

Webpack plugin for using git branch, hash (from the last commit) and tag as substitutions in output.filename and output.chunkFilename.

Getting Started

Install it

npm install --save-dev git-rev-webpack-plugin

Add the plugin to your webpack config. For example:

const GitRevPlugin = require('git-rev-webpack-plugin');

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    new GitRevPlugin(),
  ],
  output: {

  },
};

Alternatively you can save the instance to re-use it:

const GitRevPlugin = require('git-rev-webpack-plugin');

const gitRevPlugin = new GitRevPlugin();

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    gitRevPlugin,
    new webpack.DefinePlugin({
      GITHASH: JSON.stringify(gitRevPlugin.hash()),
    }),
  ],
};
