bad-setuptools-git-version

Automatically set package version from Git. This is a re-release of [bad-setuptools-git-version][] with fixes and improvements, which is itself a re-release of setuptools-git-version

Introduction

Instead of hard-coding the package version in setup.py like:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version='1.0.0',
    ...
)

this package allows to extract it from tags in the underlying Git repository:

setup(
    name='foobar',
    version_config={
        "version_format": "{tag}.{cc}",
        "starting_version": "0.1.0"
    },
    setup_requires=['bad-setuptools-git-version'],
    ...
)

The tool uses the semantically-latest tag as the base version. If there are no annotated tags, the version specified by starting_version will be used. If HEAD is at the tag, the version will be the tag itself. If there are commits ahead of the tag, the first 8 characters of the sha of the HEAD commit will be included.
