title: In Jenkins is there any easy way to build from a specify GIT SHA ID?
body: <p>I am trying to set-up a Jenkins job to build from a specify GIT SHA-ID. By default it builds from the latest SHA-ID. I checked git-plugin and git parameter plugin but I can't find a way to specify SHA-ID. </p>
  
  <p>I tried ry one of the solution mention in an OLD post "I'm not sure about Hudson, but Jenkins' Git Plugin has an "Advanced..." button at the right just above the "Repository browser" field. Clicking there reveals a lot of additional options, one of them being "Checkout/merge to local branch (optional)". Its help text says "If given, checkout the revision to build as HEAD on this branch. Please note that this has not been tested with submodules", so that seems to be what you have in mind." </p>
  
  <p>But it didn't work</p>
  
  <p>Thanks </p>
