Git Variables in Jenkins Workflow plugin

Question

I\'d like to access git variables such as GIT_COMMIT and GIT_BRANCH when I have checked out a repository from git further down in the build stream.

Answer 1

This example might get you further: https://github.com/jenkinsci/pipeline-examples/tree/master/pipeline-examples/gitcommit

In this example they are piping the output of git commands to a file, and then reading the file.
