Hi all,
I am lost.
How can I insert the commit hash from git in the output file?
I tried to evaluate "git rev-parse HEAD" in a build script and hand over
the result to the build process by setting a custom variable to the hash
string via --variable hash=${git rev-parse HEAD}. In my template I have
$hash$
I stored the hash in a file and tried to include it with -B, though this
would not be a good solution if it worked at all.
I guess this is quite a common requirement but I failed to find the
solution with Google & Co.
Any hints
juh

The syntax for including command output in a shell command line is
$(cmd), not ${cmd}. ${cmd} expands to the value of the shell variable
cmd instead of executing cmd. Your command line should thus look like
$ pandoc ... --variable "hash=$(git rev-parse HEAD)"

Do you have $include-before$ somewhere in your template, if not then
pandoc doesn't know where to include the contents of the file.
