Use GitVersion (Mainline development mode) for semantic versioning in Azure DevOps using PR Template

This is tested for Squash Pull Request Merge Type.
There are four different ways to consume GitVersion itself. You can find each of these options - gitversion.net/docs/usage/
Install GitVersion on Azure DevOps Self hosted agent - gitversion.net/docs/usage/cli...
OR
Install Azure DevOps extension - marketplace.visualstudio.com/...

Hi! Is it kindly possible to see the project? My pipeline is not working and i think that is due to my minimal knowledge of pipelines, thank u very much!

Link for those yml files shown in the video would be nice :)

[@SathishKumar-pm2bj]

It seems regardless from which branch we are committing the code, the template which we select will decide the version increment whether minor or patch. I tried to commit from Bugfix branch and selected feature.md, it increments the minor version and not patch version

[@raaviblog105]

the minor or patch version is incremented based on [+semver:minor] or [+semver:patch]. So if you select the incorrect md file then incorrect version will be updated. hope that clarifies.

@@raaviblog105 really? That's not good. Can't those rules be defined on GitVersion.yml instead?

[@pechan2]

is this only for .NET?

How to update major one?

[@raaviblog105]

For major, create a manual tag to increment it.

@@raaviblog105 I'm totally new to this plz make a small video or plz tell me briefly. And also Can we add a module name as a prefix? (Like Cnt1.2.1)

[@UCABVideos]

@@raaviblog105 can we use this method for any type of projects like Java or Asp.Net ?

[@raaviblog105]

In the Tag attribute you can add prefix. More details about configurations you can read here - gitversion.net/docs/reference/configuration I made this video to understand basics of gitversion usage.

[@raaviblog105]

It can be used for any project. you can use it with different build servers - gitversion.net/docs/reference/build-servers/
