title: Workers Builds adds Git context and build variables for flexible pipelines

[Workers Builds](/workers/ci-cd/builds/) connects your Worker to a [Git repository](/workers/ci-cd/builds/git-integration/), and automates building and deploying your code on each pushed change.

To make CI/CD pipelines even more flexible, Workers Builds now automatically injects [default environment variables](/workers/ci-cd/builds/configuration/#environment-variable) into your build process (much like the defaults in [Cloudflare Pages projects](/pages/configuration/build-configuration/#environment-variables)). You can use these variables to customize your build process based on the deployment context, such as the branch or commit.

The following environment variables are injected by default:

| Environment Variable | Injected value | Example use-case |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CI` | `true` | Changing build behavior when run on CI versus locally |
| `WORKERS_CI` | `1` | Changing build behavior when run on Workers Builds versus locally |
| `WORKERS_CI_BUILD_UUID` | `<build-uuid-of-current-build>` | Passing the Build UUID along to custom workflows |
| `WORKERS_CI_COMMIT_SHA` | `<sha1-hash-of-current-commit>` | Passing current commit ID to error reporting, for example, Sentry |
| `WORKERS_CI_BRANCH` | `<branch-name-from-push-event` | Customizing build based on branch, for example, disabling debug logging on `production` |

You can override these default values and add your own custom environment variables by navigating to **your Worker** > **Settings** > **Environment variables**.

Learn more in the [Build configuration documentation](/workers/ci-cd/builds/configuration/#environment-variables).
