Chrono.DotnetTasks

📚 About

Chrono is a git versioning tool with a focus on being customizable and easy to configure.

The DotnetTasks project contains a MSBuild task that hooks into the build process and automatically sets the version of your project according to the version.yml file.

Chrono is inspired by the likes of GitVersion and Nerdbank.GitVersioning.

🚀 Getting started

Create a version.yml (for now only a version.yml at the root of your git repo is supported)

For the content of version.yml either checkout the minimal example below.

version: 1.0.0
default:
  versionSchema: '{major}.{minor}.{patch}.{build}[-]{branch}[.]{commitShortHash}'
  precision: build
  prereleaseTag: dev
  release:
    match:
      - ^release/.*
    versionSchema: '{major}.{minor}.{patch}'

or read the full documentation.

🕹️ ️Automatic Version stamping (dotnet)

Prerequisites:

dotnet 6.0+ or .NET Framework 4.7.2+
SDK style project files
No existing AssemblyVersion.cs files or the likes present
A version.yml file in the root of your git repo

If you have the cli tool installed you can run

chrono init

in your project root.

This adds a Directory.Build.props file to the directory which takes care of including the DotnetTasks package into your projects.

with the following content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="Current" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
    <ItemGroup>
        <PackageReference Include="Chrono.DotnetTasks" Condition="!Exists('packages.config')" Version="{yourInstalledChronoVersion}" PrivateAssets="all"/>
    </ItemGroup>
    <PropertyGroup>
        <IncludeSourceRevisionInInformationalVersion>false</IncludeSourceRevisionInInformationalVersion>
        <GenerateAssemblyInfo>true</GenerateAssemblyInfo>
    </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

This ensures that every project includes the DotnetTasks project and also sets some interfering properties to false.
