crunchie84 / autoversionbumper

Small C# Web Api which can receive GitHub push webhooks to bump the minor version in your repo

Auto version Bumper

This web-api is used to recieve a webhook push event from github. If the event is a push of commits to the refs/head/develop branch AND it contains commits merging a feature branch into it or a pull request being merged it will try to bump the minor version of the repository and push it back.

Setup

• Create a Personal Api Token within Github for the user as which you will commit the automated bumps => https://github.com/settings/applications
• Check out the code, build it. Now update the Appsettings.config and deploy it somewhere (Azurewebsites is easy as pie)
• Done!

Setup of new repo to watch

• Make sure that the repo you want to auto-bump has a develop branch and it contains a version.txt file containing only {major}.{minor}.
• Go to the WebHooks configuration within Github => https://github.com/crunchie84/autoversionbumper/settings/hooks and add a new webhook
  • Point the PayLoad URL to the deployed webapi /api/pushevent endpoint => https://example-deploy.azurewebsites.com/api/pushevent
  • (Just the push event)
• Make sure that the user configured to commit the autobump has write access to the repo you just added the webhook to

Usage

work on your code, create feature/my-epic-feature. Merge it into develop. push it to Github. see the awesomeness in your commit history!

NOTES

Due to the fact that we use libgit2sharp which does not play well with web publishing (yet) i have included the nativelibraries as 'copy to bin folder' in the solution. This is a workaround untill they have merged PR#705 and rolled it out as new version.
