[[built-in-commands-version]]
= Version

The `version` command shows existing build and git info by integrating into
Boot's `BuildProperties` and `GitProperties` if those exist in the shell application.
By default, only version information is shown, and you can enable other information through configuration
options.

The relevant settings are under `spring.shell.command.version`, where you can use `enabled` to
disable a command and, optionally, define your own template with `template`. You can use the
`show-build-artifact`, `show-build-group`, `show-build-name`, `show-build-time`,
`show-build-version`, `show-git-branch`, `show-git-commit-id`,
`show-git-short-commit-id` and `show-git-commit-time` commands to control
fields in a default template.

The template defaults to `classpath:template/version-default.st`, and you can define
your own, as the following example shows:

[source]
----
<buildVersion>
----

This setting would output something like the following:

[source]
----
X.X.X
----

You can add the following attributes to the default template rendering: `buildVersion`, `buildGroup`,
`buildGroup`, `buildName`, `buildTime`, `gitShortCommitId`, `gitCommitId`,
`gitBranch`, and `gitCommitTime`.
