Chris@0 1 # Version
Chris@0 2
Chris@0 3 **Version** is a library that helps with managing the version number of Git-hosted PHP projects.
Chris@0 4
Chris@0 5 ## Installation
Chris@0 6
Chris@14 7 You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):
Chris@14 8
Chris@14 9 composer require sebastian/version
Chris@14 10
Chris@14 11 If you only need this library during development, for instance to run your project's test suite, then you should add it as a development-time dependency:
Chris@14 12
Chris@14 13 composer require --dev sebastian/version

Chris@0 15 ## Usage
Chris@0 16
Chris@0 17 The constructor of the `SebastianBergmann\Version` class expects two parameters:
Chris@0 18
Chris@0 19 * `$release` is the version number of the latest release (`X.Y.Z`, for instance) or the name of the release series (`X.Y`) when no release has been made from that branch / for that release series yet.
Chris@0 20 * `$path` is the path to the directory (or a subdirectory thereof) where the sourcecode of the project can be found. Simply passing `__DIR__` here usually suffices.
Chris@0 21
Chris@0 22 Apart from the constructor, the `SebastianBergmann\Version` class has a single public method: `getVersion()`.
Chris@0 23
Chris@0 24 Here is a contrived example that shows the basic usage:
Chris@0 25
Chris@0 26 <?php
Chris@0 27 $version = new SebastianBergmann\Version(
Chris@0 28 '3.7.10', '/usr/local/src/phpunit'
Chris@0 29 );
Chris@0 30
Chris@0 31 var_dump($version->getVersion());
Chris@0 32 ?>
Chris@0 33
Chris@0 34 string(18) "3.7.10-17-g00f3408"
Chris@0 35
Chris@0 36 When a new release is prepared, the string that is passed to the constructor as the first argument needs to be updated.
Chris@0 37
Chris@0 38 ### How SebastianBergmann\Version::getVersion() works
Chris@0 39
Chris@0 40 * If `$path` is not (part of) a Git repository and `$release` is in `X.Y.Z` format then `$release` is returned as-is.
Chris@0 41 * If `$path` is not (part of) a Git repository and `$release` is in `X.Y` format then `$release` is returned suffixed with `-dev`.
Chris@0 42 * If `$path` is (part of) a Git repository and `$release` is in `X.Y.Z` format then the output of `git describe --tags` is returned as-is.
Chris@0 43 * If `$path` is (part of) a Git repository and `$release` is in `X.Y` format then a string is returned that begins with `X.Y` and ends with information from `git describe --tags`.
