For MAVEN build, you could probably use git-commit-id-plugin in your pom.xml file

    
        pl.project13.maven
        git-commit-id-plugin
        2.2.0
        
            
                
                    revision
                
            
        
        
            ${project.basedir}/.git
            true
            ${project.build.outputDirectory}/git.properties
