The other day I created a TeamCity Meta Runner that allows you to run GitHubFlowVersion against an MSBuild file. I thought I’d share it because it’s cool and demonstrates how powerful this new TeamCity feature is.

If you want to see more Meta Runners check out the GitHub repository that Jetbrains has created.

Disclaimer: this runner doesn’t expose all of the options of GitHubFlowVersion.
