  Gitversion: It reads your commit history and generates a semver version out of it. Say you are compiling main branch and have a tag 1.0. Then, you squash 3 PRs. When you build this version, the new version number will be 1.0.3. You can configure it to be smarter about increasing major, minor, patch fields. I typically use prefix on the commit messages so that it generates versions correctly. See more at https://gitversion.net/docs/

• Deploying Flutter applications to Google Play using Github actions

  GitVersion is not available by default and needs to be installed beforehand if we want to use the features it offers. The action is available here.

• How to automate the versioning of projects?

• Wrote a CLI application to increase .NET's projects version by Semver
  3 projects | /r/dotnet | 29 Aug 2022

  At work we use https://gitversion.net/docs/ in our devops pipelines. Similaf to git-semver it generates a version based on what's published previously.

• Managing Embedded SW revs?
  4 projects | /r/embedded | 10 Aug 2022

  Under Linux I use gitflow and gitversion. The former helps me with branch and tags management, the latter keep tracks of the semantic version in a semi-automatic fashion (given a branch/commit/tag it generate a semver automatically based on the repo log). Gitflow should be supported by GUI tools too, but I'm more a CLI guy.

• How do you track which version of microservice is deployed on a stage at any given point
  1 project | /r/microservices | 13 Dec 2021

  I’m not sure about in Bitbucket, but our pipeline has installed GitVersion which ups the build version based on SemVer. https://gitversion.net/docs/ We have a HealthCheck endpoint to return this version.

• Automating release notes with conventional commits
  2 projects | /r/csharp | 13 Dec 2021

  I know that GitVersion exists, which I think can automatically calculate the version number for me. But it's not entirely clear to me that it will do this. Also it doesn't seem to have a nbgv set-version equivalent that will just create a tag based on the calculated version number.

• Kuberentes CI/CD

  Kind of like you mention though, I tend to still create a build script using gitversion then just have the GitHub Action kick off the script. I find value in being able to create artifacts on a developer machine so having a simple script to run makes that as painless as possible and when I last looked a year or so ago there wasn't a good way of running GitHub Actions on your development machine.

• Constant merge conflicts on csproj files
  3 projects | /r/dotnet | 6 Oct 2021

  Self promotion: I made Verlite for this purpose, tho something like GitVersion might be more suitable for your workflow.
