# Embed Git Information in Build Artifacts

## Overview{% #overview %}

If the language your service is written in is not [supported natively](https://docs.datadoghq.com/source_code/service-mapping.md#embed-git-information-in-your-build-artifacts) section, use this page to manually tag your telemetry with Git information by setting environment variables.

## Prerequisites{% #prerequisites %}

- [Datadog Agent](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent.md) v7.35.0 or later is required.

## Tag telemetry by setting environment variables{% #tag-telemetry-by-setting-environment-variables %}

Set the `DD_GIT_COMMIT_SHA` and `DD_GIT_REPOSITORY_URL` environment variables on your application's deployment:

```shell
export DD_GIT_COMMIT_SHA="<commitSha>"
export DD_GIT_REPOSITORY_URL="<git-provider.example/me/my-repo>"
```

Replace `<commitSha>` with the commit SHA used to build your application. You can retrieve this by running `git rev-parse HEAD` at build time, and it needs to be passed into the runtime environment variables. Replace `<git-provider.example/me/my-repo>` with your repository URL.

These environment variables add `git.commit.sha` and `git.repository_url` tags to your APM spans, linking your service to a specific commit in your source code repository.
