Right now I am doing this in my scripts:

$env:GIT_HASH = $env:APPVEYOR_REPO_COMMIT.Substring(0, 10)

It would be nice if you had a short hash created for us automatically.

Also, I am trying to use an environment variable in my assembly info like this:

assembly_info:
  patch: true
  assembly_informational_version: "{version} $($env:GIT_HASH)"

But the variable doesn't get expanded. How can I use variables in there?

   It should be just:

   assembly_info: 
     patch: true 
     assembly_informational_version: "{version} $(GIT_HASH)"
