# Vinnie the Versioner
## Overview
`vinnie` is a small utility to handle [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/)
using only git tags. This can be done either manually or as part of CI.
## Motivation
The motivation for building Vinnie is somewhat small and trivial. Many existing
tools force you to keep the **current version** in a file in your git repository
which often means that during a CI build process you generate a commit that
is simply incrementing the version number. By no means is this the end of the
world, but we realized we could fairly safely just use git tags as the storage
mechanism for the current version.
## Usage
Calling `vinnie` on its own prints the help.
`vinnie version` prints the current version to stdout.
`vinnie (patch|minor|major)` increments the version number of the given level, creates the tag, and pushes it. You can skip pushing by using `vinnie --no-push`
`vinnie next (patch|minor|major)` determines the _next_ version number of the
given level and prints it to stdout.
`vinnie replace /path/to/file` will replace the marker (default of `__VINNIE_VERSION__`)
in this file with the current version.
`vinnie show-config` dumps the current configuration Vinnie is operating with,
mostly for debugging.
## Nonsemantic versioning
Vinnie also supports not using [semver](https://semver.org/) by just using an
incrementing integer (v1, v2, ... v47) if you wish. To do that you need to
always pass in the option `--no-semver` and then the only incrementing
command to use is bump.
```shell
$ vinnie --no-semver bump
```
## Options
`--repo` set the filesystem path to the root of the git checkout
`--repo-url` set the URL on a supported provider for the repository
`--github-token` GitHub API token
`--gitlab-token` GitLab API token
`--push/--no-push` push or don't push to the repo. The default is to push.
`--prefix` allows you to set an optional text prefix to all version numbers, for
example, `vinnie --prefix=v` would create version numbers such as `v0.0.1`.
`--omit-prefix` suppresses the prefix from output. The tag will be processed
using the prefix, but the output will just contain the version numbers such as
`0.0.1`.
`--semver/--no-semver` sets whether or not you want to use semantic versioning
or just an incrementing integer. The default is to use semver.
`--current-version` in some situations it's nice to be able to just tell Vinnie
what the current version is, this option allows you to do that. In this case,
Vinnie ignores whatever versions actually exist as tags on the repository.
## Environment Variables
Vinnie also listens for environment variables if you would prefer to use those
the following map to the given option
- `VINNIE_REPO_PATH` sets `--repo`
- `VINNIE_REPO_URL` sets `--repo-url`
- `VINNIE_GITHUB_TOKEN` sets `--github-token`
- `VINNIE_GITLAB_TOKEN` sets `--gitlab-token`
- `VINNIE_REPO_PUSH` sets `--push`
- `VINNIE_PREFIX` sets `--prefix`
- `VINNIE_OMIT_PREFIX` sets `--omit-prefix`
- `VINNIE_CURRENT_VERSION` sets `--current-version`
- `VINNIE_GIT_REMOTE` sets `--remote`
- `VINNIE_VERSION_MARKER` sets `--marker`
- `VINNIE_SEMVER=False` sets `--no-semver`
- `VINNIE_SEMVER=True` sets `--semver` which is the default
## Examples
Let's start with a simple example:
```shell
$ cd my-git-repo
$ vinnie version
0.0.0
$ vinnie patch
0.0.1
```
Or maybe you want to use a prefix on with a project that already has been
using semver in a pattern of `vX.Y.Z` in tags, you would then just need to do:
```shell
$ cd my-git-repo
$ vinnie --prefix=v version
v1.2.3
$ vinnie --prefix=v minor
v1.3.0
```
## Similar Projects
Vinnie is very similar to these other fine projects:
- [bumpversion](https://pypi.org/project/bumpversion/)
- [semver (js)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/semver)
- [semver (python)](https://pypi.org/project/semver/)
## Roadmap / TODO
We feel this is pretty feature complete, but definitely open to suggestions!
