      During old style jenkins jobs I can easily print current commit ID (e.g. GIT_COMMIT, SVN_REVISION) to the console.
      But when I want to use it in Jenkinsfile (multi-branch pipeline)I tried

      env.GIT_COMMIT

      It gives me null/empty output.
      Commit hash might be useful for informing some revision software about build that succeeded or failed (e.g. I want to use it to ping Atlassian Stash about my build).

      I think this is one of the basic SCM information that should be available (just like current branch name in env.BRANCH_NAME).

          I have a less than ideal workaround:

          sh "git rev-parse --short HEAD > .git/commit-id"                        
commit_id = readFile('.git/commit-id')

          A bit shorter version of the workaround above:

          commitId = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse HEAD')

          CI system does not give straightforward way to access git commit id is a pain.

          even this way: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59167316/747579 , does not work with me

          def b= currentBuild 

          b?.actions.find { action -> action instanceof jenkins.scm.api.SCMRevisionAction }?.revision?.hash
