# date-version

## Installation

```

cargo install date-version

```

## Examples

Point to a git repo that reports `4.1.0-2-g0ebd049` from `git describe`.

```

date-version path/to/repo --date

```

returns: `4.7707.0`, or `major.days.0`.  Days is number of days since 2000.01.01.

```

date-version path/to/repo --date-split

```

returns: `4.30.2`, or `major.days1.days2`.  Days is split into two u8 to overwrite minor and patch.

```

date-version path/to/repo --date --drop-patch --revisions

```

returns: `4.7707.2`, or `major.days.commitsSinceTag`.  Patch is dropped, commits since last tag is added on.
