versioning

Apologies in advance for my ignorance. I'm very new to gradle. My is goal is to have some task in my build.gradle file, wherein a file 'version.txt' is created in my project directory whenever I run the gradle terminal command in my project root. This 'version.txt' file needs to contain version metadata of the build, such as: Version: 1.0 Revision: 1z7g30jFHYjl42L9fh0pqzmsQkF Buildtime: 2016-06-14 07:16:37 EST Application-name: foobarbaz app (^Revision would be the git commit hash of the HEAD) I've tried to reuse snippets from the following resources, but to no avail, possibly because these

This is a huge pain in the bum. I've got this a few times before and I don't understand why. 5 mins ago the repo was fine and working, I move some files around (which is all cool and all) and git poops its pants. Any idea why this happens? How can I fix it apart from cloning the repo, moving the files, etc... Oh dear I'm such a fail. It looks like the problem stems from Flash Builder copying over other .git repos into sub folders. The answer is to remove all .git folders that aren't the repo's one. In case it helps anyone else, I just encountered the same issue and found that running git init

I am just starting out with GIT (i'm coming from cvs) and would like to set up something akin to cvs/svn with Git. I performed the following steps: cd o:/repository git init cd <working directory> git clone o:/repository i now created a file called file.txt with some content doing a "git status" lists appropriate changes. I then do git add file.txt git commit file.txt and both seem to work fine. When i do git push , i get the following error: No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing. Perhaps you should specify a branch such as 'master'. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

My application has an exe and uses some DLLs. I am writing all in C#. In one DLL I want to write a method to get the application name and version from the version information in the exe. I understand that in full .NET I could use GetEntryAssembly, but that that is unavailable in CF. Getting the app name: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Name; Getting the version: System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version; You might want to use GetCallingAssembly() or getting the assembly by type (e.g. typeof(Program).Assembly ) if your DLL is trying to get

If A references assembly B 1.1 and C, and C references B 1.2, how do you avoid assembly conflicts? I nievely assumed C's references would be encapsulated away and would not cause any problems, but it appears all the dll's are copied to the bin, which is where the problem occurs. I understand the two ways around this are to use the GAC or assembly bindings? The GAC doesn't seem like the best approach to me, as I don't like assuming dlls will be there, I prefer to reference dlls from a lib directory in my solution. Where as assembly bindings don't seem robust to me, what if one version of the

Background I have a simple WinForms application written in C#. I debated deployment solutions for a while but ultimately decided to abandon ClickOnce as a few of the constraints were crucially restrictive. Instead, I've adapted a simple solution of versioning the application via the assembly/file versions (I keep them in sync) in the application's properties. I'm deploying via a Setup Project (*.msi). I store the latest assembly version number in an XML file online, as well as the latest installer file. At run-time, I simply check the Application.ProductVersion against the latest version
