Hugo provides a way to integrate Git data into your site.
## Prerequisites
1. The Hugo site must be in a Git-enabled directory.
1. The Git executable must be installed and in your system `PATH`.

1. Enable the GitInfo feature in Hugo by using `--enableGitInfo` on the command
line or by setting `enableGitInfo` to `true` in your site configuration.

## The GitInfo Object
The `GitInfo` object contains the following fields:
AbbreviatedHash
: abbreviated commit hash, e.g. `866cbcc`
AuthorName
: author name, respecting `.mailmap`
AuthorEmail
: author email address, respecting `.mailmap`
AuthorDate
: the author date
Hash
: commit hash, e.g. `866cbccdab588b9908887ffd3b4f2667e94090c3`
Subject
: commit message subject, e.g. `tpl: Add custom index function`
## Performance Considerations
The Git integrations should be fairly performant, but it does add some time to the build, which depends somewhat on the Git history size.
