i.e. i want to run git as system command and gather tag information to create a file and embed into build as anonymus module.

Do you mean you need help with setting up the step or is the issue that the build system is caching the command and only runs it once?

have set up but i don't know how to force build 'not to cache'

Step.Run has a has_side_effects field which, if true, will always force the step to run anew every build.
