Hope someone can help - I have the following plugin installed in my Jenkins instance - but I don't seem to be able to get hold of the Git variables below. I need these to complete our CI setup. Is there something that I'm missing?

I'm passing them in like:

ssh [email protected] "./build-pass.sh $GIT_BRANCH"

Environment variables

The git plugin sets several environment variables you can use in your scripts:

  • GIT_COMMIT - SHA of the current

  • GIT_BRANCH - Name of the branch currently being used, e.g. "master" or "origin/foo"

  • GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL - Committer/Author Email

  • GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL - Committer/Author Email

Ok I cracked this one myself.

To see all environment variables available add to the Execute shell field:

printenv

Console output will then show all the available vars.
