Is it possible to add a version number using git / github

Question

I\'m using Github, and realized they have a nice little api for accessing repo information like commits, who did it, etc.

This would be a great way to show previous

Answer 1

I'm using this:

function git_func {
    GITBIN=/usr/bin/git
    if [[ $1 == "commit" ]] && [[ "$#" -ne 1 ]]
    then
        GIT_VERSION=`$GITBIN rev-list HEAD | wc -l`
        let GIT_VERSION+=1
        perl -e "s/(\d+\.\d+\.)\d+/\${1}$GIT_VERSION/;" -pi.save config.json
        rm config.json.save
    fi

    GITCMD="$GITBIN "
    for var in "$@"
    do
        GITCMD="$GITCMD \"$var\""
    done
    eval $GITCMD
}


alias git='git_func'

config.json contains this:

"version": "0.1.44"
