Git commit hash/sha as an environment variable in pre and post deployment steps

[onkarhoysalalivspace]

Summary

In pre and post-deployment steps, it is useful to have the commit hash/sha as an environment variables, which we could use for example in webhook calls.

Motivation

Let's say we need to integrate with a third-party tool that provides deployment analytics. In such a case, their webhooks require us to append the commit hash. While it is very easy to add a post-deployment step, currently not having the commit hash is being a blocker in integrating with such tooling.

Proposal

Having the git hash provided as an environment variable during the pre and post deployment steps.
