When applied, Git-Version adds two methods to the target project.
The first, called gitVersion(), runs the JGit equivalent of git describe to determine a version string.
It behaves exactly as the JGit git describe method behaves, except that when the repository is in a dirty
state, appends .dirty to the version string.
The second, called versionDetails(), returns an object containing the specific details of the version string:
the tag name, and the commit count since the tag.
Apply the plugin using standard Gradle convention:
plugins {
id 'com.palantir.git-version' version '<current version>'
}
Set the version of a project by calling:
version gitVersion()
You can get an object containing more detailed information by calling:
def details = versionDetails()
details.lastTag
details.commitDistance
This plugin adds a printVersion task, which will echo the project's configured version
to standard-out.
