This library determines a next release version for a git repository.

It can be used as a library or as a standalone tool.

The rules for determining the next version are following:

1. The library recognises tags in the format: release/x.y.z or vx.y.z possibly with a suffix -X-g<short SHA-1 hash commit id>
2. It is not possible to change the major version as part of a hotfix
3. The requested major version must be increased by at most 1
4. If the repository has not been tagged yet the initial version will be 0.1.0
5. A major version bump from x.y.z will result in a next version of x+1.0.0
6. If it is a hotfix for version x.y.z the new version will become x.y.z+1
7. Otherwise the minor version will be increased by 1
8. An unrecognised tag format will cause throwing an exception

ReleaseVersioning.version(
  release      = <a Boolean value>,
  hotfix       = <a Boolean value>,
  gitDescribe  = <an Option[String] with `git describe` value>,
  majorVersion = <an Int with the desired major version>
)

You can see the available options by running the assembly jar with:

java -jar $WORKSPACE/release-versioning/target/scala-2.10/release-versioning-assembly-x.y.z.jar --help

Usage: release-versioning [options]

  --help               prints this usage text
  --release            release is an optional flag indicating whether it should be a release or a snapshot
  --hotfix             hotfix is an optional flag indicating whether it should be a hotfix or a major/minor release
  --git-describe <value>
                       git-describe is an optional argument expecting an outcome of `git describe` command
  --major-version <value>
                       major-version is required when git-describe option is defined

Examples:

• Some latest tag defined

java -jar release-versioning-assembly-x.y.z.jar --release --git-describe v0.1.0 --major-version 0

• No latest tag defined

java -jar release-versioning-assembly-x.y.z.jar --release
