Expose Git metadata to Jekyll. Just like how Github exposes repository metadata, this plugin will expose information about your git repository for your templates. For example:
{{site.git.total_commits}} # => Will return the total number of commits for your Jekyll repository
Add to your Gemfile:
gem 'jekyll-git_metadata'
Add to your _config.yml:
gems:
- jekyll-git_metadataThis plugin adds a hash of git information to the site and page variables. The hash looks something like this:
{"authors"=>
[
{"commits"=>2, "name"=>"Ivan Tse", "email"=>"[email protected]"},
{"commits"=>5, "name"=>"John Smith", "email"=>"[email protected]"}
],
"total_commits"=>7,
"total_additions"=>57,
"total_subtractions"=>22,
"first_commit"=>
{"short_sha"=>"d15cbe8",
"long_sha"=>"d15cbe8d0f4d4db9efda7a3daabbe966c21f3848",
"author_name"=>"John Smith",
"author_email"=>"[email protected]",
"author_date"=>"Thu Jan 16 23:36:00 2014 -0500",
"commit_name"=>"John Smith",
"commit_email"=>"[email protected]",
"commit_date"=>"Thu Jan 16 23:36:00 2014 -0500",
"message"=>"A commit!"},
"last_commit"=>
{"short_sha"=>"f88ca3b",
"long_sha"=>"f88ca3bff630efb6cdb356fad3d640534b109572",
"author_name"=>"Ivan Tse",
"author_email"=>"[email protected]",
"author_date"=>"Mon Jul 14 04:04:47 2014 -0400",
"commit_name"=>"John Smith",
"commit_email"=>"[email protected]",
"commit_date"=>"Mon Jul 14 04:04:47 2014 -0400",
"message"=>"Fix some stuff"}}
To access this hash, use either page.git or site.git. page.git contains the git information about that particuliar page/file. site.git contains the git information for the entire git repository. site.git also includes total_files and project_name variables.
