## Context Variables

We now provide contextual variables to your deployments. These include but are not limited to

`RAILWAY_STATIC_URL` The URL at which the deployment exists (either static or custom)

`RAILWAY_GIT_AUTHOR` The author from the commit that triggered the build

`RAILWAY_GIT_BRANCH` The branch on which the deployment was triggered from `RAILWAY_GIT_COMMIT_MESSAGE` The commit message from the triggering commit

`RAILWAY_GIT_REPO_NAME` The repo name from which the trigger initiated

## Spotlight Redesign
