Capistrano-gitinfos

Build Status

Capistrano 3 plugin to fetch git commit additional informations and store them in an INI/XML/YAML/JSON file when deploying

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'capistrano-gitinfos'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install capistrano-gitinfos

Usage

require 'capistrano/gitinfos'

Set the version file format and filename.

# version file output format and file extension
# available formats : ini, xml, yml, json
# default : json
set :gitinfos_format, "json"

# relative path from release_path without file extension
# default : version
# if :gitinfos_format = yml and :gitinfos_file = config/version
# then the final path is <release_path>/config/version.yml
set :gitinfos_file, "version"

# section name : "namespace" in the config file which will contains git commit informations
# if the namespace contains dots, it will be translated as nested path in JSON, YML and XML
set :gitinfos_section, ''

After deploying, you will get a file with the following informations:

  • full_commit : git full SHA1 commit
  • abbrev_commit : git abbrev SHA1 commit
  • version : the result of git describe --tags command if possible, otherwise the abbrev commit
  • commit_date : commit date in IS08601 format (with timezone)
  • commit_timestamp : commit date in unix timestamp format
  • deploy_date : capistrano deploy date in IS08601 format (with timezone)
  • deploy_timestamp : capistrano deploy date in unix timestamp format

e.g. :

  • version.json
