Be warned that the `sed` command used will overwrite the entire line when the string is found. If you want to add a git hash or version to an environment file, such as in a Laravel project, you can use this: Filename: `.git/hooks/post-commit` ``` #!/bin/sh # Redirect output to stderr. exec 1>&2 GIT_HASH=$(git rev-parse --short HEAD) echo "Applying the following hash: $GIT_HASH" sed -i "/APP_GIT_HASH/c\APP_GIT_HASH=\"${GIT_HASH}\"" .env ``` If you would like to have which branch/tag you are using written to the environment file every time you checkout a new branch/tag, you can use this: ``` #!/bin/sh # Redirect output to stderr. exec 1>&2 GIT_BRANCH=$(git symbolic-ref -q --short HEAD || git describe --tags --exact-match) echo "Applying the following hash: $GIT_BRANCH" sed -i "/APP_VERSION/c\APP_VERSION=\"${GIT_BRANCH}\"" .env ```
