about

This repository contains packaged Gradle plugin for git.properties file generation.

Idea - @lievendoclo, originally published in article Spring Boot's info endpoint, Git and Gradle - InsaneProgramming.

usage

Declare this in your build.gradle

plugins {
  id "com.gorylenko.gradle-git-properties" version "1.4.20"
}

If needed - override location of git.properties file like this:

gitProperties {
    gitPropertiesDir = new File("${project.rootDir}/your/custom/dir")
}

If needed - use dateFormat and dateFormatTimeZone to format git.commit.time value (See SimpleDateFormat and TimeZone for values)

gitProperties {
    dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mmZ"
    dateFormatTimeZone = "PST"
}

If project root dir is not the same git repo root dir, it can be overridden like so.

gitProperties {
    gitRepositoryRoot = new File("${project.rootDir}/../..")
}

Please note that spring-boot-actuator expects git.properties to be available at certain location.

This is enough to see git details via info endpoint of spring-boot-actuator.

You can have more fine grained control of the content of 'git.properties':

gitProperties {
    keys = ['git.branch','git.commit.id','git.commit.time']
}

All available keys can be found in the source.

In order to see all attributes, you can set the "management.info.git.mode" property to "full" per the Spring Boot documentation, e.g. in application.properties:

management.info.git.mode=full

Plugin is available from Gradle Plugins repository.
