Hi,
Is there a simple way to put commit number (git) into artifacts archive?
Let's say it might be simple text file version.txt with SHA inside it.

Thanks!

   Hi,

   You can use APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT environment variable. Number of other useful variables can be found here https://www.appveyor.com/docs/environment-variables/

   Here is appveyor.yml section example you can use:

   install:
     - ps: '[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText("$env:APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER\version.txt", $env:APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT)'
   artifacts:
   - path: version.txt
      name: version
   

   Hope this helps.

   --ilya.

   Thanks, it works :)
   Only I'm used after_build:
   

   after_build:
    - ps: '[System.IO.File]::WriteAllText("$env:APPVEYOR_BUILD_FOLDER\source\bin\$env:CONFIGURATION\version.txt", $env:APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT)'
   artifacts:
   - path: source\bin\Release
     name: Release

   Yes, after_build is more logical place for this, I agree :)
