{{% note "`.GitInfo` Performance Considerations" %}}
Hugo's Git integrations should be fairly performant but *can* increase your build time. This will depend on the size of your Git history.
{{% /note %}}
## `.GitInfo` Prerequisites
1. The Hugo site must be in a Git-enabled directory.
2. The Git executable must be installed and in your system `PATH`.
3. The `.GitInfo` feature must be enabled in your Hugo project by passing `--enableGitInfo` flag on the command line or by setting `enableGitInfo` to `true` in your [site's configuration file][configuration].
## The `.GitInfo` Object
The `GitInfo` object contains the following fields:
`.AbbreviatedHash`
: the abbreviated commit hash (e.g., `866cbcc`)
`.AuthorName`
: the author's name, respecting `.mailmap`
`.AuthorEmail`
: the author's email address, respecting `.mailmap`
`.AuthorDate`
: the author date
`.Hash`
: the commit hash (e.g., `866cbccdab588b9908887ffd3b4f2667e94090c3`)
`.Subject`
: commit message subject (e.g., `tpl: Add custom index function`)
