grunt-githash

Grunt plugin to get the current git hash, git branch and git tag

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt.

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-githash --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-githash');

The "githash" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named githash to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  githash: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
})

Usage Examples

Default Options

In this example, the default options are used to get the git status.

grunt.initConfig({
  githash: {
    main: {
      options: {},
    }
  },
 
   anotherTask: {
     options: {
       exampleOptions1: '<%= githash.main.hash %>',
       exampleOptions2: '<%= githash.main.hash %> <%= githash.main.tag %> <%= githash.main.branch %>',
       exampleOptions3: '<%= githash.main.short %>'
     }
   }
})

Custom Options

In this example, we define the git repository location

grunt.initConfig({
  githash: {
    submodule: {
      options: {
        // Git repository path (e.g. a git sub module)
        dir: 'sub/repository/'
      }
    }
  },
 
  anotherTask: {
    options: {
      someProp: '<%= githash.submodule.hash %>'
    }
  }
})
