NAME
       Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Git::NextVersion - Provide a version number by bumping the last git release tag


VERSION
       version 2.051


SYNOPSIS
       In your dist.ini:

           [Git::NextVersion]
           first_version = 0.001       ; this is the default
           version_by_branch = 0       ; this is the default
           version_regexp  = ^v(.+)$   ; this is the default


DESCRIPTION
       This does the VersionProvider role.  It finds the last version number from your Git tags, increments it
       using Version::Next, and uses the result as the "version" parameter for your distribution.

       In addition, when making a release, it ensures that the version being released has not already been
       tagged.  (The Git::Tag plugin has a similar check, but Git::Tag only checks for an exact match on the
       tag.  Since Git::NextVersion knows how to extract version numbers from tags, it can find duplicates that
       Git::Tag would miss.)

       The plugin accepts the following options:

       •   "first_version" - if the repository has no tags at all, this version is used as the first version for
           the distribution.  It defaults to "0.001".

       •   "version_by_branch" - if true, consider only tags on the current branch when looking for the previous
           version.  If you have a maintenance branch for stable releases and a development branch for trial
           releases, you should set this to 1.  (You'll also need git version 1.6.1 or later.)  The default is
           to look at all tags, because finding the tags reachable from a branch is a more expensive operation
           than simply listing all tags.

       •   "version_regexp" - regular expression that matches a tag containing a version.  It must capture the
           version into $1.  Defaults to ^v(.+)$ which matches the default "tag_format" from the Git::Tag
           plugin.  If you change "tag_format", you must set a corresponding "version_regexp".

       You can also set the "V" environment variable to override the new version.  This is useful if you need to
       bump to a specific version.  For example, if the last tag is 0.005 and you want to jump to 1.000 you can
       set V = 1.000.

         $ V=1.000 dzil release

       Because tracing history takes time, if you use the "version_by_branch" option, Git::NextVersion will
       create a .gitnxtver_cache file in your repository root to track the highest version number that is an
       ancestor of the HEAD revision.  You should add .gitnxtver_cache to your .gitignore file.  It will
       automatically be pruned from the distribution.
