how can I get the commit hash for a package installed via NPM from a git repo?

In my package.json I have lines like the following:

"dependencies": {
    "my-library": ""git+ssh://[email protected]/my_org/my-library.git"
}

This will always install the latest from the master branch of my-library on github. What I would like is to be able to get the commit hash at the time this dependency is installed. Is this possible?

npm list my-library inside your package will give the commit hash like below 

[email protected] /.../sample-project
└── [email protected]  (git+https://[email protected]/mylibrary/mylibrary.git#fadsf8972qrjafds76d7aa30ee4d7671c)

and also when npm install is done from module that has dependency from git, node_modules/my-library/package.json will have a key _resolved which will give you the commit hash from which the module is installed.

it will look something like this 

"_resolved": "git+https://[email protected]/mylibrary/mylibrary.git#fadsf8972qrjafds76d7aa30ee4d7671c"
