Well, I had the advantage of having used that API in my own plugin before :)
But yeah, Git is just plugin like any other, so there's no magical way of knowing how to access data from its internals. Though if you know that "Actions" exist, and are a mechanism for plugins to associate data with a build, you might be able to get somewhere in general by using the Script Console as Brian mentioned, coupled with a bit of digging on GitHub. If you have specific questions, the mailing list or IRC are also good bets :) Regards, Chris On 10/12/15 15:18, Guy Matz wrote: > Nicely done!!
