AWS Elastic Beanstalk上的Git文件夹

Question

Where do I find the .git folder on my AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment? I ssh'd into my EC2 instance, ran find / -name ".git" but it returned no results.

Why do I ask? I normally use the .git/refs/heads/master file to get a commit version hash which I put into the end of static files. Example:

<link type="text/css" href="http://example.com/theme/global.css?60c9afa3e9" />

Can't do that with AWS EB if I can't find the .git folder.

elastic beanstalk uses git to fetch the sources, then zips it, uploads it to S3 and unzips it to the EC2 instance. the zip file does not include the git directories, so you won't find them on the instance.
Here're a couple of possible solutions:
1. Create an .ebextension file that fetches the latest git version on ec2 (hoping no one has pushed a commit since)
2. Create a different file with an ID and manually populate it in your build process or a pre-commit git hook
