I\'d like to access git variables such as GIT_COMMIT
and GIT_BRANCH
when I have checked out a repository from git further down in the build stream.
I good way to fix this for now is to use the Multi-branch pipeline, and it might be good to know that Bitbucket and Github have plugins in Jenkins that sets up an organisation and autodiscovers new projects. This works natively then with env.GIT_BRANCH
For commit ID I would suggest what @mkobit wrote above.
