NAME

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

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

In your F<dist.ini>:

     [BumpVersionFromGit]
     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:

• 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. To bootstrap a version for a distribution that has not been released (and thus not tagged), you need to use this or else set version in dist.ini (which should prevent this plugin from running). After the first tagged release, you can remove version from dist.ini and let this module handle it for you.

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
