Query Git Data during compile and build of a delphi app

Question

We are using GIT as a source code repository for our Delphi projects.

Can I get Git Branch ID , Git Revision number, .... each time I compile my apps?

I would like to show these data in some help box

Note that those who *wrote* Git set up their builds to capture version information by running `git describe`. Doesn't mean that's the right answer, but, well, Linus and Junio do kind of know what they're doing with Git. :-) — torek, Sep 03 '21 at 16:22

Here the answers:

Git branch id by git branch --show-current
Git revision number by git rev-parse HEAD (NB: the revision number is the last commit hash)
