📑️ About

1. Why Git Stamp?

When working with Flutter and Git, especially in a team environment, human errors such as forgetting to run git pull can lead to issues during branch merges. Git Stamp helps address these problems by offering:

• Build Date, SHA & Branch Information - Git Stamp allows you to precisely determine which version of the application was deployed. This is especially useful during debugging or verifying issues, as application versions and build numbers are not always updated correctly.
• Debugging and Troubleshooting - Knowing the build date and exact code version (SHA) makes it much easier for the development team to identify the problematic code when users report bugs.
• Avoiding Lost Changes in Teamwork - It allows you to quickly see which commits made it into the final version of the application, helping to prevent missing changes due to overlooked git pull commands.
• Caching Issues in the Web Version - Even if the latest version is deployed, users may still see an older version due to caching. Git Stamp helps identify whether the deployed version or an outdated one was loaded.

2. 🕯️ Mechanism

3. Motivation

The main motivation was Minecraft with information like this:

Version: v1.20.81
Build: 24130126
Branch: r/20_u8
SHA: a9081c5429038dcf3f26269f7351d89f

Git Stamp code:

import 'git_stamp/git_stamp.dart';

Text('Version: ${GitStamp.appVersion}'),
Text('Build: ${GitStamp.appBuild}'),
Text('Branch: ${GitStamp.buildBranch}'),
Text('SHA: ${GitStamp.sha}'),

4. Changelog

🆕 Version	🗓️ Date	📝 Change Description
Version 6	Someday it will be	📦 JSON data export
Version 5	07.10.2024	🔐 Data encription
Version 4	24.07.2024	🌟 New icon build-type
Version 3	30.06.2024	🔧 New gen-only build-type
Version 2	10.04.2024	🛠️ Commit diff
Version 1	11.12.2023	🚀 First version

🛠️ Installation

1. pubspec.yaml

dependencies:
  git_stamp: ^5.2.0
dependency_overrides:
  meta: ^1.1.5

2. .gitignore

Important

Add git_stamp to .gitignore.

echo -e "\n/lib/git_stamp/" >> .gitignore.

If you add a /git_stamp folder for the repository and use the FULL version, the size of the repository will grow EXPONENTIALLY.

3. analysis_options.yaml

analyzer:
  exclude:
    - lib/git_stamp/**

4. README.md

Warning

Add badge to your README.md 😄️

🏗️ Generating

1. Examples

Build type	Pure Dart	Can encrypt	CLI Command
FULL	NO	YES	dart run git_stamp --build-type full --adding-packages disabled --encrypt
LITE	NO	YES	dart run git_stamp
ICON	NO	NO	dart run git_stamp --build-type icon
CUSTOM	YES	NO	dart run git_stamp --gen-only build-branch,build-date-time

Note

To optimize the generation you can disable adding packages to the project for LITE & FULL versions by adding a flag in CLI --adding-packages disabled .

2. Benchmarks

dart run git_stamp --benchmark

3. Tip

Caution

Generating requires the use of the git command-line interface (CLI).

4. Custom gen-only parameters

#	Parameter
1	commit-list
2	diff-list
3	diff-stat-list
