CodeBuild doesn't store .git metadata, how do you suggest dealing with that? #4

hello @thii thanks for your script. It looks great. I was wondering though, CodeBuild is famous for not storing the .git directory which your script is dependent upon to work. How do you deal with that?

I wrote this in the early days of CodeBuild, when it used to always clone the full depth of your repo at each build. It might not work now with the default clone depth = 1.

You can still choose clone depth = Full in your CodeBuild project settings if your repo isn’t so large.

Perfect, I'll give it a try and report back

Good news: Your suggestion worked with CodeBuild

Bad news: If you're triggering CodeBuild from CodePipeline, like I am, you're going to find that CodePipeline ignores the git clone depth=full and overrides with git clone depth=1. It is not configurable. See here for some very angry people: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=248267

So it seems that this project is not compatible with CodePipeline, at this time
