Get current git revision programmatically

Hello,

I am trying to get the current git revision programmatically. I checked this post https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206127699-Rigth-way-to-get-current-file-revision-git-?input_string=Get%20current%20git%20revision but I am not getting the revision.

Is there a sample code I could use to get the current project revision?

Thanks.

Got my answer, will publish for visibility and help other people that may have the same questions.

Add dependency in build.gradle:

intellij {
    ...
    plugins 'git4idea'
}

To do this in the code

GitRepositoryManager repositoryManager = GitUtil.getRepositoryManager(file.getProject());
java.util.List<GitRepository> repositories = repositoryManager.getRepositories();
for(GitRepository gitRepository: repositories){
    String revision = gitRepository.getCurrentRevision();
}
