GitVersionTest

This project demonstrates a workaround to enable GitVersion.MsBuild 6.x integration for projects running in the Visual Studio IDE.

Overview

GitVersion automates semantic versioning based on your Git history. This sample shows how to configure your .csproj and use the generated version information in your application.

How It Works

• The project uses the GitVersion.MsBuild NuGet package.
• The .csproj file includes a custom MSBuild target (GetVersionForVisualStudio) to generate version info using dotnet gitversion.
• Version metadata is injected into the assembly and accessed at runtime.
