          format: "%h %an %aD", // --pretty format opts see below
          match: 'my_version' //replace @@my_version by the output of git show --pretty="%h %an %aD"
        },
        files: [

            dest: '<%= yeoman.dist %>'
          }

Match

Type: String|RegExp Indicates the matching expression.

If matching type is String we use a simple variable lookup mechanism @@string (in any other case we use the default regexp replace logic). See Applause doc for details, as replacement is done via Applause lib.

    // using strings
    options: {
      repo: '../some/path/to/.git',  // your git repo (./ by default)
      format: "%h %an %aD", // --pretty format opts see below
      match: 'my_version' //replace @@my_version by the output of git show --pretty="%h %an %aD"
    }

    // using regexp
    options: {
      repo: '../some/path/to/.git',  // your git repo (./ by default)
      format: "%h %an %aD", // --pretty format opts see below
      match: /foo/g //replace all `foo` by the output of git show --pretty="%h %an %aD"
    }
