Versioning

A .NET 8 console application demonstrating automated semantic versioning with Versionize and GitHub Actions.

Prerequisites

• .NET 8 SDK

Getting Started

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet run --project VersionTestApp

How It Works

On every push to master, a GitHub Actions workflow:

1. Builds the project
2. Runs Versionize to analyze commits since the last release
3. Bumps the version in VersionTestApp/VersionTestApp.csproj, updates CHANGELOG.md, and creates a git tag
4. Pushes the changes and creates a GitHub Release

Version bumps are determined by commit messages following the Conventional Commits specification:

Prefix	Version Bump
fix:	Patch (1.0.x)
feat:	Minor (1.x.0)
feat!: or BREAKING CHANGE:	Major (x.0.0)

Commits without a feat or fix prefix are considered insignificant and do not trigger a release.

Setup

To use this workflow in your own repository, add a Personal Access Token as a repository secret named TEST_PAT with permissions to push commits and tags.
