GitVersion

A helper for bumping versions via git tags.

Usage

gitversion --prefix v bump patch

Only semver-style versions with optional prefix are supported at this time (major.minor.patch).

gitversion will filter all tags of the format <prefix><major>.<minor>.<patch>-[prerelease], sort them, and increment the requested field (patch in this example) on the largest version. It then tags the current revision with the result.

e.g.

> git tag
v1.2.3
v1.2.4

> gitversion --prefix v bump patch
Bumping patch for version 1.2.4
1.2.5

> git tag
v1.2.3
v1.2.4
v1.2.5

> gitversion --prefix v show
v1.2.5

Auto

Auto is a special field that will determine the proper field to bump based on the contents of the last commit message. It looks for anything matching:

[major] or [major bump]

[minor] or [minor bump]

Example:

> git tag
1.2.3
1.2.4

> git log -1
[minor] Added show, major, minor, and auto features

> gitversion bump auto
1.3.0

And will default to patch if none found or if the commit is already tagged.

Prerelease

For prerelease versions, we automatically use the short git SHA (e.g. 1.2.3-1644da2).

note: prerelease tags should not be pushed to git, only used for local resolution.

Testing
