app_version Updated
Aug 10th, 2008 by phil
I have updated my app_version Rails plugin to support getting build numbers from Git. This is of necessity a little kludgy. The plugin allows you to specify either ‘git-revcount’ or ‘git-hash’ as the build. ‘git-revcount’ will set the build number to the number of commits on the current Git branch and ‘git-hash’ will set the build number to the first six digits of the Git HEAD hash. Neither method is really equivalent to the Subversion revision number, but either might be useful in certain contexts.
The source code for the plugin is available at http://github.com/toland/app_version.
