Git environment variables for use in executing Jenkins shell scripts
Ok I cracked this one myself.
To see all environment variables available add to the Execute shell field:
printenvConsole output will then show all the available vars.
Please also have a look at:How can I access the last built revision according to jenkins?
The part with the env-vars url was really helpful:
Lastly, to see a less comprehensive list of available environment variables, you can also just go to this url: http://[your-jenkins-domain-and-port]/env-vars.html
Similarly you could just echo them out:
echo GIT_COMMIT %GIT_COMMIT% echo GIT_BRANCH %GIT_BRANCH%
Here's a quick Jenkins Git configuration tutorial on the Git environment variables topic that uses the Jenkins Git configuration described in the image.
