Automatically set package version from Git.

very-good-setuptools-git-version

Automatically set package version from Git. This is a re-release of setuptools-git-version with fixes and improvements.

Introduction

Instead of hard-coding the package version in setup.py like:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version='1.0',
    ...
)

this package allows to extract it from the underlying Git repository:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version_format='{tag}.dev{commits}+{sha}',
    setup_requires=['very-good-setuptools-git-version'],
    ...
)
