I’ve blogged previously about using GitHubFlowVersion for versioning and how I created a TeamCity meta-runner for it.

A lot has happened since then in that space and that has been nicely summarised by my friend Jake Ginnivan. tl;dr GitHubFlow version has been merged with the GitFlowVersion project to form GitVersion.

This project is totally awesome and I highly recommend that you use it. In short:

GitVersion uses your git repository branching conventions to determine the current Semantic Version of your application. It supports GitFlow and the much simpler GitHubFlow.

I’ve gone ahead and developed a much more comprehensive TeamCity meta-runner for GitVersion and I’ve submitted it to the TeamCity meta-runner PowerPack. This meta-runner allows you to use GitVersion without needing to install any binaries on your build server or your source repository - it automatically downloads it from Chocolatey :)

Happy building!
