vergit 1.0.2

Tool for getting version info from git history

A simple tool for extracting version information from git tags and formatting it with optional post-release commit info.

Version tags can optionally use a v prefix, and can include pre-release versions.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install vergit

Usage

Full usage:

vergit [-h] [--format {long,short,default,json}] [path]

The path can be omitted and defaults to the current directory.

There are several different formats which can be used:

• long Always include the git revision info.

• short Never include the git revision info, only the release version.

• default Uses the long format if on a pre-release or there are commits after the release, otherwise the short format.

• json Output JSON data describing the version.

Examples

If the current commit is tagged with v1.0.0:

$ vergit
1.0.0

$ vergit --format short
1.0.0

$ vergit --format long
1.0.0+git-0-123abcd

$ vergit --format json
{"version": "1.0.0", "git": "+git-0-123abcd", "gitn": "0", "gitsha": "123abcd", "pre_release": false}

If the commit before the current is tagged with 1.0.0:

$ vergit
1.0.0+git-1-123abcd

$ vergit --format short
1.0.0

$ vergit --format long
1.0.0+git-0-123abcd

$ vergit --format json
{"version": "1.0.0", "git": "+git-1-123abcd", "gitn": "1", "gitsha": "123abcd", "pre_release": false}

If the current commit is tagged with v1.0.0rc1:

$ vergit
1.0.0rc1+git-0-123abcd

$ vergit --format short
1.0.0rc1

$ vergit --format long
1.0.0rc1+git-0-123abcd

$ vergit --format json
{"version": "1.0.0rc1", "git": "+git-0-123abcd", "gitn": "0", "gitsha": "123abcd", "pre_release": true}
