Access current git commit number from within Heroku app

Question

I know the slug compiler removes the .git directory when creating a heroku slug, but is there any way to configure Heroku so that I can access the currently run

Answer 1

You can run a script before deploy that store this information (maybe on a YAML)

using these a = `ls` (note that is not ' "apostrophe" sign is ` "inverse accute" sign)
the a variable will have the result of this bash command,
so you can do git = `git log` and then find the information you want it and store it. So you will be able to retrieve it later.

Did this helped ?
