$ git rev-parse HEAD
If you have downloaded the .zip or .tar.gz packages from GitHub (or elsewhere), please let us know.
Attempt to use git bisect
If you have installed NodeBB via GitHub clone, are familiar with utilising git, and are willing to help us narrow down the specific commit that causes a bug, consider running git bisect.
