dotnet-gitversion - Simple git versioning for dotnet cli

dotnet-gitversion is a simple extension tool for dotnet cli that sets the version number based on git tags and branches. It is based on the wonderful GitVersion.

Usage

Reference dotnet-gitversion in your project.json:

{
  "tools": {
    "dotnet-gitversion": {
      "version": "*",
      "imports": [
        "dotnet"
      ]
    }
  },
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "buildOptions": {
    "debugType": "portable",
    "emitEntryPoint": true
  },
  "frameworks": {
    "netcoreapp1.0": {
      "dependencies": {
        "Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
          "type": "platform",
          "version": "1.0.0"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Then run dotnet restore to fetch dotnet-gitversion and finally run dotnet gitversion to update the version field.
