An sbt plugin that adds some basic Git data to the artefact's MANIFEST.MF file. This repository is a fork of the hmrc/sbt-git-stamp. All credit goes to the original plugin authors.

The original plugin was released on JFrog's Bintray repository that has been closed on May 1, 2021. The plugin is no longer actively maintained, so its binaries haven't been moved to any alternative repository. This fork solves this problem as its binaries are published to the Maven Central repository.

Version 1.0.0 of this fork corresponds to the last version of the original hmrc/sbt-git-stamp plugin:

The plugin adds some basic information about the state of the repository that the artifact was built from (at the time it was built) to the MANIFEST.MF file. This information includes:

• head revision
• branch name
• whether or not there were uncommitted changes
• build date

This information is included in the MANIFEST.MF file in the JAR produced by the sbt package (or assembly) tasks. This can help you track down where a build came from.

Add the following to your project/plugins.sbt:

addSbtPlugin("com.nescale" % "sbt-git-stamp" % "1.0.0")

Add the following near the top of your build.sbt file:

import com.nescale.gitstamp.GitStampPlugin._

Then, add this to the build.sbt file as well:

Seq(gitStampSettings: _*)

Then, just build your application as normal. This plugin won't add any tasks, or otherwise change the way you interact with sbt.

Your artifacts will just come out with a MANIFEST.MF file that looks something like this:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Specification-Title: My-Company
Specification-Version: 0.1
Specification-Vendor: My-Company
Implementation-Title: My-Project
Implementation-Version: 0.1
Implementation-Vendor: My-Company
Implementation-Vendor-Id: My-Company
Git-Branch: main
