GitRev

Retrieve the SHA-1 hash of the current revision of a Git repository. GitRev uses the contents of the .git directory therefore it does not require Git to be installed.

Installation

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

“by gem ‘git_rev’

“

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install git_rev

Usage

SHA-1

By default, GitRev::Sha uses the current directory as the Git repository and caches the revision number:

“by require ‘git_rev’

revision = GitRev::Sha.new

revision.full

=> 1f7995f701d02f2f62b2e7faa91a1e16f3d68666

revision.short

=> 1f7995f

“

You may specify the location of the Git repository:

“by revision = GitRev::Sha.new(repository: ‘/path/to/repository’)

“

By default, the cache is enabled, meaning GitRev will only query the filesystem once. If you need to ensure the revision info is reloaded each time:

“by revision = GitRev::Sha.new(repository: ‘/path/to/repository’, cache: false)

revision.short

=> 1f7995f

git commit -m "A message"

revision.short

=> 658f674

“
