Would it be possible to add GitVersion onto the Build Worker

Not sure if you have heard of this project or not:

https://github.com/particular/gitversion

But it is a very useful tool in order to generate a semantic version number, based on the current state of a git repository. This is incredibly useful, rather than having to control that yourself.

This package can be easily added to a build through doing choco install gitversion.portable, but I was just wondering if this is something that could be added to the base Build Worker image, rather than having to do the install.

Thanks

Gary

   Just wanted to check which version you had installed, and noticed that it wasn't on the Build Worker Installed Software Page, can it be added?

   Prod... :-)

   Can you update the installed software page?

   Thanks!

   Sure, where do I get the latest version which incorporates this PR: https://github.com/Particular/GitVersion/pull/273?

    Just logged off PC, will send url through tomorrow morning. Or, if you check my github, and the ChocolateyGUI repo, in the buildsctipts folder and in default.ps1, search for -source you will see the url to my myget feed where it is coming from.

    This uses a hooky version number though, so use with care. I have submitted a PR to GitVersion to have it included and hopefully a new release will come soon.

    Hey,

    Originally, I was using a version that was coming from:

    choco install GitVersion.Portable -source https://www.myget.org/F/gep13/ -pre

    However, I have just checked, and version 1.3.2 is now available on Chocolatey.org.

    I am just running a test just now to validate whether it works as expected on AppVeyor.

    Oh, PSBuild looks interesting and colors are nice :)
    I guess it's a missing component for better integration with PSake, right?

    Yeah, I noticed the colours, a welcome addition :-)

    If there is anything that could be done to better integrate with psake I would certainly welcome it, but in all honesty, it has been very good so far!

    Nice one, thank you! So that others can see that it is there, ready to be used, can you add it to the "Build Worker Installed Software" page?

    Thanks
