Put current git branch to project version

git, maven, versioning

Solution

Yes, use the git commit id plugin for maven

It's pretty straightforward. You can use it to get the git branch with

${git.branch}

So in your case it would go:

<version>${git.branch}</version>

Problem

I want to put the current git branch into the version field in pom xml. I found some post in the internet suggesting to do something like: ``` <version>${scm.version}</version> ``` but this seems not to work with git. Are there any other solutions?
