    Is it possible to grab the current branch name and changeset number and store it somewhere that the game can access?

    I'd like to include version number, branch name, and changeset number in an 'about' popup for when QA reports a bug, I can go back to the exact version that used when tracking down the problem.

    Is this possible? My first guess is i could run a script on build (is that possible?) that accesses Plastic api and writes the info I need to a text for json file in the Resources folder. Then the game can do a Resources.Load<TextAsset>("plasticinfo") to get the info.

    Hello,
    Thank you for your question.
    You can use the "cm find changeset", "cm find branch" to get the information you are looking for. Please find the documentation on this here.

    @ccfoo242 you can get the working branch/changeset/label with the following command:

    PS C:\wks\code> cm status --cset
    
cs:215708@rep:codice@repserver:codice@cloud


    An alternative way to do this is using the cm find command:


    
PS C:\wks\code> cm wi
    
Branch /main/scm32579@codice@codice@cloud


    And then you can query the last changeset in that branch:

    PS C:\wks\code> cm find changeset "where branch='/main/scm32579'" --nototal | select -Last 1

    Awesome, thanks! Do you know if its possible to run these commands in a Unity Cloud Build? And do the methods like OnPreprocessBuild() allow for execution of exe's or cmd files? Or is there a C# api that I can use that does these commands?
