### [Read this on the main serverless docs site](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/guides/variables/git) # Reference Git Variables You can leverage Git-related information in your `serverless.yml` configuration using Git variables. This allows you to include dynamic data related to your Git environment directly into your deployment configuration. ### Available Git Variables: - **describe**: A representation of the latest commit, using tags if available, otherwise the short SHA-1 hash. - **describeLight**: Like `describe` but only considers lightweight (non-annotated) tags. - **sha1**: The short SHA-1 hash of the latest commit. - **commit**: The full SHA hash of the latest commit. - **branch**: The name of the current branch. - **message**: The full commit message of the latest commit. - **messageSubject**: The subject line of the commit message. - **messageBody**: The body of the commit message. - **user**: The name of the user from Git configuration. - **email**: The email address of the user from Git configuration. - **isDirty**: Indicates whether there are uncommitted changes (returns 'true' or 'false'). - **repository**: The name of the repository. - **tags**: The tags pointing at the current commit, or the short SHA-1 hash if no tags are present. ### Syntax To reference Git variables, use the `${git:}` syntax in your `serverless.yml`. Here's how you might use these variables: ```yml service: new-service functions: hello: name: hello-${git:branch} handler: handler.hello description: ${git:message} ``` In the above configuration, the service and function names will dynamically include the branch name, and the function description will include the commit message.
