How can I save git audit info embedded into simulation output

I'd like to improve the traceability of my simulation outputs. I currently use a diary file to record the git commit and save it alongside my simulation output, but it would be even better if I could embed the commit info inside the output object. Is there a Matlab function to do this? Thanks

Run system(), or use MATLAB's git command, e.g.

OutStr=system('git status')

help git
