[Buildbot-devel] short git hash property?

[Jared Grubb]

Note that the Git step itself will run the ‘git describe’ value for you if you ask it to. The description will be available in the “commit-description” property.

# to get the value from “git describe”
Git(…, getDescription=True) 

 # to get the value from “git describe --dirty --abbrev=10 --match ‘buildbot-*'”
Git(…, getDescription={ ‘dirty’: True, ‘abbrev’: 10, ‘match’: ‘buildbot-*' })

There’s some more docs: http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.10/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html?highlight=git <http://docs.buildbot.net/0.8.10/manual/cfg-buildsteps.html?highlight=git>
