is there a way to automatically update version number of a package.json (https://npmjs.org/doc/json.html) with the HEAD hash of git? I would like to have something like version: 1.0.0+rev82e4b91cfe42cd86e9453b4987b9cc446566de6 inside the project's package.json file. Eveything before the plus is set manually and the hash is updated everytime I commit something.
Is this possible? I couldn't find anything on this topic :-/

How do I add a Git repo to a NPM package? To npm install a public project that is hosted on Github, and not the NPM registry, add the Github repo to package. json dependencies using the username/repo#branch-name format. Run npm install and npm will download the project and save it into your /node_modules/ folder.
Every time a commit is added to a git repository, a hash string which identifies this commit is generated. This hash is computed with the SHA-1 algorithm and is 160 bits (20 bytes) long. Expressed in hexadecimal notation, such hashes are 40 digit strings.
json should not be in the . gitignore file. The main purpose of package-lock. json is to guarantee that all contributors install exactly the same dependencies.
A commit in git always has a hash that contains 40 characters.
It appears that this can be done directly without a plugin. npm version $(git describe) will take the value from git describe and update the value of the version in package.json.
(I'm currently using npm version 3.10.)
