We want to use npm version to bump to a customized version that contains both Git branch and commit hash.
And use Travis CI to automatically publish the prerelease version to NPM, tagged using npm dist-tag.
Instead of using plus (+) to denote build information, we prefer period (.) for simpler escapes.
Run npx version-from-git, it will run npm version 1.0.0-master+1a2b3c4.
Usage: version-from-git [options]
Bump package.json version to pre-release tagged with Git branch and short commit hash, 1.0.0-master.1a2b3c4
Options:
-V, --version output the version number
-p, --path <path> path to package.json, default to current directory (default: C:\Users\Compulim\Source\Repos\version-from-git)
-t, --travis run in Travis CI: skip when TRAVIS_TAG present
-f, --force run "npm version" with --force
-m, --message <message> run "npm version" with --message
--allow-same-version run "npm version" with --allow-same-version
--sign-git-tag run "npm version" with --sign-git-tag
--no-commit-hooks run "npm version" with --commit-hooks
--no-git-tag-version run "npm version" with --no-git-tag-version
-h, --help output usage information
In Travis, when you push a tag (probably by npm version 1.0.0 followed by git push origin v1.0.0), you may want to skip version-from-git from generating a pre-release tag.
Run npx version-from-git -t, it will detect whether TRAVIS_TAG environment variable is present and skip.
