Optional

• path (string) - The path to a directory inside your git repo. The plugin will search for a git repo, starting in this directory and walking up through parent directories. Defaults to '.' (the directory packer was executed in).

Output

• head (string) - The short name of HEAD's current location.
• branches (list[string]) - The list of branches in the repository.
• tags (list[string]) - The list of tags in the repository.
• is_clean (bool) - true if the working tree is clean, false otherwise.

Example Usage

This example shows how a a suffix can be added to the version number for any AMI built outside the main branch.

data "git-repository" "cwd" {}

variable version {
  type = string
}

locals {
  onMaster = data.git-repository.cwd.head == "main"
  version  = onMaster ? "${var.version}" : "${var.version}-SNAPSHOT"
}

source "amazon-ebs" "ami1" {
  ami_description = "AMI1"
  ami_name        = "ami1-${local.version}"
}

data "git-repository" "cwd" {}
 
variable version {
  type = string
}
 
locals {
  onMaster = data.git-repository.cwd.head == "main"
  version  = onMaster ? "${var.version}" : "${var.version}-SNAPSHOT"
}
 
source "amazon-ebs" "ami1" {
  ami_description = "AMI1"
  ami_name        = "ami1-${local.version}"
}
