Now when you trigger a deploy from the Netlify UI or with a build hook, you’ll find a linkable Git commit SHA in the Netlify UI that you can open for more information about the changes you deployed.

![Example of where you see the Git SHA in Netlify UI](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/o0o2tn5x/marketing/97fc33f54e16dfbc3447ec8017ed2b1392b55271-726x436.png)

This allows you to better troubleshoot and understand the code you deployed.

When using the Netlify API, you’ll also find a new `commit_ref` response parameter that shows your Git commit SHA.
