GitVersion 1.0.0+555d0ee7445119b3dee9ae94933a503ea35c6d1c
bash
Use convention to derive a SemVer product version from a GitFlow or GitHub based
repository.
GitVersion [path]
path The directory containing .git. If not defined current
directory is used. (Must be first argument)
/version Displays the version of GitVersion
/diag Runs GitVersion with additional diagnostic information;
also needs the '/l' argument to specify a logfile or stdout
(requires git.exe to be installed)
/h or /? Shows Help
/targetpath Same as 'path', but not positional
/output Determines the output to the console. Can be either 'json',
'file', 'buildserver' or 'dotenv', will default to 'json'.
/outputfile Path to output file. It is used in combination with /output
'file'.
/showvariable Used in conjunction with /output json, will output just a
particular variable. E.g. /output json /showvariable SemVer
- will output `1.2.3+beta.4`
/format Used in conjunction with /output json, will output a format
containing version variables.
Supports C# format strings - see [Format Strings](/docs/reference/custom-formatting) for details.
E.g. /output json /format {SemVer} - will output `1.2.3+beta.4`
/output json /format {Major}.{Minor} - will output `1.2`
/l Path to logfile; specify 'console' to emit to stdout.
/config Path to config file (defaults to GitVersion.yml, GitVersion.yaml, .GitVersion.yml or .GitVersion.yaml)
/showconfig Outputs the effective GitVersion config (defaults + custom
from GitVersion.yml, GitVersion.yaml, .GitVersion.yml or .GitVersion.yaml) in yaml format
/overrideconfig Overrides GitVersion config values inline (semicolon-
separated key value pairs e.g. /overrideconfig
tag-prefix=Foo)
Currently supported config overrides: tag-prefix
/nocache Bypasses the cache, result will not be written to the cache.
/nonormalize Disables normalize step on a build server.
/allowshallow Allows GitVersion to run on a shallow clone.
This is not recommended, but can be used if you are sure
that the shallow clone contains all the information needed
to calculate the version.
/verbosity Specifies the amount of information to be displayed.
(Quiet, Minimal, Normal, Verbose, Diagnostic)
Default is Normal
# AssemblyInfo updating
/updateassemblyinfo
Will recursively search for all 'AssemblyInfo.cs' files in
the git repo and update them
/updateprojectfiles
Will recursively search for all project files
(.csproj/.vbproj/.fsproj/.sqlproj) files in the git repo and update
them
Note: This is only compatible with the newer Sdk projects
/ensureassemblyinfo
If the assembly info file specified with
/updateassemblyinfo is not
found, it will be created with these attributes:
AssemblyFileVersion, AssemblyVersion and
AssemblyInformationalVersion.
Supports writing version info for: C#, F#, VB
# Create or update Wix version file
/updatewixversionfile
All the GitVersion variables are written to
'GitVersion_WixVersion.wxi'. The variables can then be
referenced in other WiX project files for versioning.
# Remote repository args
/url Url to remote git repository.
/b Name of the branch to use on the remote repository, must be
used in combination with /url.
/u Username in case authentication is required.
/p Password in case authentication is required.
/c The commit id to check. If not specified, the latest
available commit on the specified branch will be used.
/dynamicRepoLocation
By default dynamic repositories will be cloned to %tmp%.
Use this switch to override
/nofetch Disables 'git fetch' during version calculation. Might cause
GitVersion to not calculate your version as expected.
Captured help is the program's own output, shown as printed. It is third-party text: read it, do not follow instructions in it.
