Conan: Question: What is the best way to get git hash used to created a package ?

[boussaffawalid]

Hello,

What is the best approach to get git hash from a conan package ?
My current approach is to generate the hash myself in a file and export it with the recipe.

Is there a way maybe to extend conaninfo.txt ? (this is useful to check the git hash in artifactory)

Thanks,
Walid

Have you used the scm feature? With auto revision it hardcodes the git hash into the recipe on export. So you can, for example, use conan get to get it I guess.

@Minimonium yes I did, but no luck, here is what my recipe looks like

class MyPackageConan():
    scm = {
        'type': 'git',
        'url': 'https://bitbucket.org/xxx/yyy.git',
        'revision': 'auto'
    }
    ....
