An SBT plugin that add some basic git information to the artefact's MANIFEST.MF file
This plugin will include some basic information about the state of the repository that the artifact was built from, at the time it was built. This information includes:
- Head revision
- Branch name
- Whether or not there were uncommitted changes
- Build date
This information is included in the MANIFEST.MF file in the jar produced by the package (or assembly) tasks. This can
help you track down where a build came from.
Add the following to your project/plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("uk.gov.hmrc" % "sbt-git-stamp" % "<VERSION>")
Add the following near the top of your build.sbt file (if you are using a full build config, I'm sure you can figure
it out):
import uk.gov.hmrc.GitStampPlugin._
Then, add this lower down:
Seq( gitStampSettings: _* )
Then, just build as normal. This plugin won't add any tasks, or otherwise change the way you interact with SBT.
Your artifacts will just come out with a MANIFEST.MF file that looks something like this:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Implementation-Vendor: My-Company
Implementation-Title: My Project
Implementation-Version: 0.1
Implementation-Vendor-Id: My-Company
Specification-Vendor: My-Company
Git-Repo-Is-Clean: false
Git-Branch: gitstamp
Specification-Title: My Company
Git-Build-Date: 2013-04-26T17:22:58.538-07:00
Specification-Version: 0.1
Git-Head-Rev: b0d5a67d59dc7c0133aecce2e2ceb18fc8d23597
