increment-build-number

Utility script to update the projects' version numbers for a solution

Help page

Usage: increment-build-number [PATH] [--major | --minor] [--build]

  PATH must point to a git repository containing a Visual Studio solution.

  Options:
    --major    Increment the major version number, set minor version number to
               zero.
    --minor    Increment the minor version number.
    --build    Increment the build number (default).

  If you specify --major or --minor and omit --build, the build number will be
  reset to zero.
  If you use --major or --minor in combination with --build, the build number
  will be incremented as well.

  The revision number is not used and will always be zero.

Usage in the various projects

• In all reposistories, to increment only the build number, run increment-build-number without options. (Or simply double-click the executable.)

• In PerfectXL-Auditor the build number is never reset to zero. The command for incrementing the minor version is: increment-build-number --minor --build

• In PerfectXL-Compare the build number is set to zero when the minor version number is incremented. The command for this is: increment-build-number --minor

• To increment the major version number, use --major instead of --minor in the commands above.

Building the executable increment-build-number.exe

The projects depends on Newtonsoft.Json. If you build for release, this assembly is merged into the executable, so the whole exectuable/script consists of just one file.

Target machines still need to have the .NET Framework 4.6.2 installed.
