A way of managing versions

README

Introduction

This is the repository for Buildnumber, bn program.

It manages your version number using semanitic versioning (major.minor.revision), via Buildnumber file.

Perhaps invoke it from your Makefile before you publish your code and you have a standard way of managing your versions.

Usage

You can call it directly, for example

bn command (-f FILENAME)

Initialise the current directory as your buildnumber dir

bn init

A Buildnumber file will be created. This is the file that will store the version and be modified by the bn command from now on.

Get the current version

bn get

Upgrade the revision

bn revision

Upgrade the minor (will reset revision to 0)

bn minor

Upgrade the major version (will reset the minor.revision) to 0.0

bn major

Integration and automation

Now your program has a Buildnumber file, you can integrate the buildnumber into your CI/CD and client as you see fit.

To see an example of integrating with go programs, try bn help-go
