Parsing git tags to versions

[GigaToni]

So lately I was searching for something that could parse git tags into version numbers. I wasn't quite happy with what I found, so I started to create my own Python script for that.

Note:
The changelist is the first 6 characters of the sha hash.
This script requires Parse

Base functions for outputting schematic versions:
https://gist.github.com/exmex/06229ec035cd8949e6e2

Output is like this:

[DEBUG]: Getting changelist from git...
[DEBUG]: Got changelist ac55b7
[DEBUG]: Getting branch from git...
[DEBUG]: Got branch master
[DEBUG]: Getting versionlist from git...
[DEBUG]: Got versionlist 4.6.1

return of GetChangelist contains this: ac55b7
return of GetBranch contains this: master
return of GetVersion contains this: [4, 6, 1]

And this is the final file with tpl replacements:
https://gist.github.com/exmex/3d8d9cfadc998d52dd67

With this you've to specify the cwd (Current working directory) as the first argument. The cwd is basically the root of the git repository. Also the git path is on both versions in a variable. So you don't have to have git in the PATH variable.

It's only called "Schematic Versioning to CPP Header" it can be used to generate all sorts of files. Because it replaces stuff in the template file.

Example tpl file:

{changelist}
{formatVersion}
{buildVersion}
{commentVersion}
{shortVersion}
{visibility}
{branch}

Example output:

ac55b7
4,6,1
461
4 6 1
4.6
PUBLIC
Releases

Example tags:


Example branches (master always has a visibility of public):


Example usage:
- Doxyfile (Doxygen config) auto adjustment of the version
- Header file for CPP to auto-correct the version number

Example cmd line:

gitVerToHeader.py F:\GitRepos\TestRepository\ F:\GitRepos\TestRepository\Docs\doxygen_conf

Note:
This was ONLY tested on windows. I cannot guarantee that it will work with linux. Because my development environment is using windows!
