Build folder is not a git repository

Hello, im building a kotlin gradle project and i am trying to access git repo information during build time.

Im doing so by using a gradle plugin "org.ajoberstar.grgit".

Example usage: grgit.head().abbreviatedId

While this works on my machine (and github actions) it doesnt here, telling me:

No .git directory found!

It seems like the build process isnt done in a git repository or something?

Id like some pointers/help with this

Thanks!

Hello,

We do not clone over the .git folder, this is not something we will be changing.

What information do you need to get, perhaps there is another way?

Best,
Brody

Thank you for the response, im glad to hear its coming. Do you know how soon yet? I may be able to just null the values until the feature is available.

Im using:

Current Git hash, branch, status (Dirty/Clean)
Im simply mirroring these values into the built jar for debugging purposes, but they are not integral to my service.

Hello,

Sorry for the misunderstanding, we will not pull the .git folder and we will not be changing that fact.

Perhaps these variables can help you -
