I’m adding a git log line to my deploy script: git pull origin master

  • 0

I’m adding a git log line to my deploy script:

git pull origin master
git log -n 1 > lastcommit.txt
ant -f build.xml deploy

to save details of the last commit. This produces an output file (at time of writing):

commit 3ced14ef1004287b55c21d384447c21cb58edfa6
Merge: 616a15e 5adc9c5
Author: www-data <www-data@backup.agilebase.co.uk>
Date:   Sat Jul 28 15:20:39 2012 +0100

Merge branch 'master' of github.com:okohll/agileBase

However, using that commit code https://github.com/okohll/agileBase/commits/3ced14ef1004287b55c21d384447c21cb58edfa6 returns a 404 not found error.

I must have misunderstood git log, I want to find the commit hash that will link to the last commit in github’s web interface. Is there a way to do that? What does 3ced14ef1004287b55c21d384447c21cb58edfa6 refer to?

I notice that the ‘Merge’ line has at the end 5adc9c5 which is the start of the actual code I’m looking for, at time of writing 5adc9c51326772318394fceb479a31e26306259b.

    Your git pull merged what was on github and what was in your repository into a new commit. That is 3ced14ef1004287b55c21d384447c21cb58edfa6. This merge commit is not on github (yet). If you want to refer to that, you will need to push back to github.
