# Git information


When you're using Git to manage your code, and the git history is available from the server you're running your application on, Flare will automatically collect:

- The commit hash
- The commit message
- The current branch
- The git repository remote URL

In the past this information was collected by calling the `git` command directly from PHP which could lead to performance issues on some systems. Next to the default collected data the legacy method also collected:

- The latest tag
- Whether the repository is dirty (uncommitted changes)

It can still be enabled by adding the following to your `config.php`:

```php
use Spatie\FlareClient\Enums\CollectType;

'collects' => FlareConfig::defaultCollects(
    extra: [
        CollectType::GitInfo->value => ['use_process' => true],
    ],
),
```

It is possible to disable this behaviour by ignoring the `GitInfo` collect in `config.php`:

```php
'collects' => FlareConfig::defaultCollects(
    ignore: [CollectType::GitInfo],
),
```
