Overview
GitStamp is a developer tool for Flutter that provides real-time, await-less access to Git metadata such as branch name, commit hash, and change history. It enables developers to embed build information directly into apps—ideal for debugging and version tracking. The package supports multiple platforms and offers a dedicated widget to display detailed commit logs and code changes. With minimal setup via pub add, it integrates seamlessly into existing projects. It’s particularly useful in development and CI/CD workflows where visibility into the current Git state is essential.
