NAME

Dist::Zilla::Plugin::BumpVersionFromGit - provide a version number by bumping the last git release tag

VERSION

version 0.004

SYNOPSIS

In your F<dist.ini>:

     [BumpVersionFromGit]
     first_version = 0.001       ; this is the default
     version_regexp  = ^v(.+)$   ; this is the default

DESCRIPTION

This does the Dist::Zilla::Role::VersionProvider role. It finds the last version number from tags and increments it as the new version used by Dist::Zilla.

The plugin accepts the following options:

• first_version - if the repository has no tags at all, this version is used as the first version for the distribution. It defaults to "0.001".

• version_regexp - regular expression that matches a tag containing a version. It should capture the version into $1. Defaults to ^v(.+)$ which matches the default tag from Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::Tag

You can also set the V environment variable to override the new version. This is useful if you need to bump to a specific version. For example, if the last tag is 0.005 and you want to jump to 1.000 you can set V = 1.000.

NOTE -- this module is a stop gap while Dist::Zilla is enhanced to allow more sophisiticated version number manipulation and may be deprecated in the future once those changes are complete.

SEE ALSO

• Dist::Zilla::Plugin::VersionFromPrev and Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::LastVersion do something similar but in what I find to be a more complicated way of doing things
