LIB-VERSION

LIB-VERSION is a version-aware library designed to provide robust version management and utility functions. This library is ideal for projects requiring precise version tracking, such as in detailed logging or system monitoring environments.

Features

• Version Retrieval: Easily retrieve the current library version using the VersionUtil class.
• Automatic Versioning: Utilizes Git tags to automatically version the library.
• CI/CD Integration: Automatically publishes new versions to a package registry when tagged in Git.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Git (for versioning)
• Python 3.x (if using Python)
• Access to a package registry pip

Installation

To install Library Name, use the following command:

pip install REMLA-Test-Lib-version

Usage

To retrieve the current version of the library:

from version_util import VersionUtil
print(VersionUtil.get_version())

How Versioning Works

The library's version is determined by Git tags. When a new tag is pushed to the repository, a CI/CD pipeline updates a VERSION file in the repository with the current tag. This version is then read by the VersionUtil class.

Setting up Git Tags

To create a new version, tag your commit with the version number:

git tag -a v1.0.1 -m "Release version 1.0.1"
git push origin v1.0.1

Automated Version Updates

A GitHub Actions workflow is set up to detect when a new tag is pushed and updates the VERSION file automatically. This is then committed back into the repository. See .github/workflows/updateVersion.yml for the workflow configuration.

Publishing to a Registry

When a new tag is pushed, another GitHub Actions workflow triggers to build and publish the package to the designated package registry. See .github/workflows/updateVersion.yml for the details.
