setuptools-git-versioning 2.0.0

Use git repo data for building a version number according PEP-440

Use git repo data (latest tag, current commit hash, etc) for building a version number according PEP 440.

Features:

• Can be installed & configured through both setup.py and PEP 518’s pyproject.toml

• Does not require to change source code of the project

• Tag-, file-, and callback-based versioning schemas are supported

• Templates for tag, dev and dirty versions are separated

• Templates support a lot of substitutions including git and environment information

• Well-documented

See comparison between setuptools-git-versioning and other tools.

Limitations:

• Currently the only supported VCS is Git

• Only Git v2 is supported

• Only Setuptools build backend is supported (no Poetry & others)

• Currently does not support automatic exporting of package version to a file for runtime use (but you can use setuptools-git-versioning > file redirect instead)
