You could run it as part of an apply statement

```resource.apply(x =&gt; getCommit(x));```
(assuming you're getting the sourcesDirectory as part of creating a resource)

Where are you getting `sourcesDirectory` from?

sourcesDirectory comes from configuration, with `cfg.require("Sources.Server")`

basically, what I want to do is I want to add the full commit to the outputs because it makes it easier to later see which version was deployed by just running `pulumi stack output`

That means you'll be constantly changing that output, is that ok?

I will change it whenever pulumi up is run, that is okay

although the way you ask the question seems to hint that there are some hidden costs to this I might not be aware of?

It means that there might be situations where nothing will be changed resource-wise, but because of the change in output it'll be marked as a change

Are you using the console to store the state or are you managing it yourself?

So you'll get the git commit in your updates in the console:

I think the change is okay: the idea is pulumi up is part of a CD pipeline. whenever it's being run, there will be a new version for certain (because the pipeline is triggered only upon PR merges into master),

that is the commit hash for the repository where the pulumi project is located. but I got multiple repositories and the infrastructure one (holding, amongst other things, the pulumi projects) is not the most relevant for us.

so you are saying I can do this with apply even if sourcesDirectory comes from config?

You can mark the config value as an output:

```const directory = pulumi.output(config.get("sourcedirectory"));
export const gitsha = directory.apply(x =&gt; runfunction(x));```
