Question regarding GitFlow Yaml Configuration for unique versions for tags, release branch, and develop

[craigbennerAcentra]

We are looking to utilize gitversion in our CI pipelines to automatically calculate and build the code with versions that are unique based on GitFlow. We are tagging our production releases with "tags/{major.minor.patch}.

main

• tags/0.0.1 --- version==0.0.1 (last release)
  release
  - release/0.0.2 --- version==0.0.2 (next release)
  develop --- version==0.0.3 (current development) <--- this is where I'm struggling to get code configured

features -- would inherit develop's version
hotfix -- would inherit whatever tag it is branched from
support -- would use the branch name like tags and releases

Hopefully this image uploads, as it gives a visual to the sequence diagram that describe the above.

Can anyone help figure out the correct configuration for what is described above?

thanks,
Craig

First of all, I would recommend you to take a look into the configuration document and the GitFlow examples which are available at:

• Configuration
• GitFlow Examples

Seeing your sequence diagram, I think you can use the workflow: GitFlow/v1 template. You just need to adjust the following:

• the tag-prefix to tags\/
• the increment of the devleop branch from Minor to Patch
• the label of the devleop branch from alpha to SNAPSHOT
• the label of the release branch from beta to SNAPSHOT
• the deployment mode (mode) from ManualDeployment to ContinuousDelivery

Happy Branching!

Thank you for your reply. I have read the configuration multiple times, but for some reason I kept on "ignoring" the workflow: GitFlow/v1

Once I added that to my current config it started working :-D

thanks again!
