jjversion-action

jjversion-action is a composite GitHub action that uses the Go package jjliggett/jjversion to calculate a version for a git repository and parse version attributes as GitHub Action outputs.

The action downloads the jjliggett/jjversion-gha-output executable and runs the executable. The executable extends the jjversion package, saving version information in GitHub step outputs.

Usage

For this action to work properly, you must create a versioning.yaml file in your repository and checkout your repository in your workflow with fetch-depth: 0 to fetch all history for all tags and branches. Configuration information for the versioning.yaml file can be found in the https://github.com/jjliggett/jjversion repository.

Outputs

The action creates the following outputs:

• major
• minor
• patch
• majorMinorPatch
• sha
• shortSha

Example Usage

An example usage can be seen below:

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@b4ffde65f46336ab88eb53be808477a3936bae11 # v4.1.1
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - name: Get version
        id: jjversion
        uses: jjliggett/jjversion-action@792eedc302b25e47c032768ed951ca1c6abb5d3d # v0.6.11
      - name: Display jjversion outputs
        run: |
          echo "Major: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.major }}"
          echo "Minor: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.minor }}"
          echo "Patch: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.patch }}"
          echo "MajorMinorPatch: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.majorMinorPatch }}"
          echo "Sha: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.sha }}"
          echo "ShortSha: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.shortSha }}"

An optional parameter is available to specify the jjversion-gha-output executable version and override the default configured within the action source code - version. This can enable you to use a more updated version of the executable before this action is updated:

    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@b4ffde65f46336ab88eb53be808477a3936bae11 # v4.1.1
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - name: Get version
        id: jjversion
        uses: jjliggett/jjversion-action@792eedc302b25e47c032768ed951ca1c6abb5d3d # v0.6.11
        with:
          version: v0.3.46
      - name: Display jjversion outputs
        run: |
          echo "Major: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.major }}"
          echo "Minor: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.minor }}"
          echo "Patch: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.patch }}"
          echo "MajorMinorPatch: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.majorMinorPatch }}"
          echo "Sha: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.sha }}"
          echo "ShortSha: ${{ steps.jjversion.outputs.shortSha }}"
