Versioning With git-describe
This is a small demonstration of how git-describe
tool can be used to derive artifact (assembly)
version directly from Git. How to test it:
- Regular Debug build of the project produces a console application that prints out its own assembly, file and informational version:
> TellYourVersion.exe
Hello, World from version:
assembly : 1.0.0.0
file : 1.0.0.0
informational : 1.0.0
build.ps1
simulates an automated CI build. It produces a Release assembly and a NuGet package whose version is determined by the output fromgit-describe
and indirectly by the current commit (here for v2.0.0):
> TellYourVersion.exe
Hello, World from version:
assembly : 2.0.0.0
file : 2.0.0.0
informational : v2.0.0
Note: check out commits starting at v1.0.0
and later - these are "dummy" commit used to simulate
source code development.
