sv4git

semantic version for git

Getting Started

Installing

• Download the latest release and add the binary on your path
• Optional: Set SV4GIT_HOME to define user configs, check config for more information.

Config

There are 3 config levels when using sv4git: default, user, repository. All 3 are merged using the follow priority: repository > user > default.

To see current config, run:

git sv cfg show

Configuration types

Default

To check what is the default configuration, run:

git sv cfg default

User

To configure define SV4GIT_HOME environment variable, eg.:

SV4GIT_HOME=/home/myuser/.sv4git # myuser is just an example

And define the config.yml inside it, eg:

.sv4git
└── config.yml

Repository

Create a .sv4git.yml on the root of your repository, eg.: .sv4git.yml

Running

run git-sv to get the list of available parameters

git-sv

Run as git command

if git-sv is configured on your path, you can use it like a git command

git sv
git sv current-version
git sv next-version

Usage

use --help or -h to get usage information, don't forget that some commands have unique options too

# sv help
git-sv -h

# sv release-notes command help
git-sv rn -h

Available commands

Variable	description	has options or subcommands
config, cfg	show config information	✔️
current-version, cv	get last released version from git	❌
next-version, nv	generate the next version based on git commit messages	❌
commit-log, cl	list all commit logs according to range as jsons	✔️
commit-notes, cn	generate a commit notes according to range	✔️
release-notes, rn	generate release notes	✔️
changelog, cgl	generate changelog	✔️
tag, tg	generate tag with version based on git commit messages	❌
commit, cmt	execute git commit with convetional commit message helper	❌
validate-commit-message, vcm	use as prepare-commit-message hook to validate commit message	✔️
help, h	shows a list of commands or help for one command	❌

Use range

Commands like commit-log and commit-notes has a range option. Supported range types are: tag, date and hash.

By default, it's used --date=short at git log, all dates returned from it will be in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Range tag will use git describe to get the last tag available if start is empty, the others types won't use the existing tags, it's recommended to always use a start limit in a old repository with a lot of commits. This behavior was maintained to not break the retrocompatibility.

Range date use git log --since and --until, it's possible to use all supported formats from git log, if end is in YYYY-MM-DD format, sv will add a day on git log command to make the end date inclusive.

Range tag and hash are used on git log revision range. If end is empty, HEAD will be used instead.

# get commit log as json using a inclusive range
git-sv commit-log --range hash --start 7ea9306~1 --end c444318

# return all commits after last tag
git-sv commit-log --range tag

Use validate-commit-message as prepare-commit-msg hook

Configure your .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg

#!/bin/sh

COMMIT_MSG_FILE=$1
COMMIT_SOURCE=$2
SHA1=$3

git sv vcm --path "$(pwd)" --file "$COMMIT_MSG_FILE" --source "$COMMIT_SOURCE"

tip: you can configure a directory as your global git templates using the command below, check git config docs for more information!

git config --global init.templatedir '<YOUR TEMPLATE DIR>'
