Semantic Versioning Plugin

Gradle plugin that provides Semantic Versioning with auto-increment features.

How to

Add it in your project build.gradle.kts at the end of plugins.

Using the plugins DSL:

plugins {
    id("com.sherepenko.gradle.plugin-build-version") version "x.y.z"
}

Using legacy plugin application:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url = uri("https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/")
        }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath("com.sherepenko.gradle.plugin-build-version:x.y.z")
    }
}

apply(plugin = "com.sherepenko.gradle.plugin-build-version")

Summary

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,
2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner, and
3. PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes.

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

Gradle tasks

• incrementMajor will increment the MAJOR and set the MINOR and PATCH versions to 0;
• incrementMinor will increment the MINOR and set the PATCH version to 0;
• incrementPatch will increment the PATCH version;
• prepareReleaseVersion will prepare release version by trimming pre-release and build metadata
