Research findings:
- Industry standard uses 'git rev-parse --short HEAD' (7 characters)
- Short hashes are more readable for logs and health endpoints
- Git automatically extends hash if 7 chars aren't unique
- Better for production deployment tracking and version verification
Changes:
- Dockerfile: Use --short flag to get 7-character commit ID
- README: Update examples to show short commit format (0e993d9)
- README: Add explanation of why short commits are used
Example health response:
{
"git_commit": "0e993d9", // 7 chars, not full 40-char SHA
"version": "1.0.0"
}
