Get access to Git-Revision in Ansible Playbook executed in Ansible Tower

Question

We are using ansible tower to deploy software. The template and inventories are sourced from a Project which is based on a git repository.

For debugging purposes it would be great to be able to access the checked out revision in our playbook, so that we can eg write it to a file which we create during the deployment to be aware of the currently deployed version.

Is there a way to do this? So basically I would like to access the highlighted Revision in our playbook as ansible variable.

Thanks for your help!

I found the solution myself:

tower_project_revision : The revision identifier for the source tree that this particular job uses (it is also the same as the job's field scm_revision)
