Versionist

in British English

2. someone who creates or prefers a version

Scope

This module handles version determination for shepherd docker building.

This package handles determining semantic version and git hash, intended to use for tagging docker images, but may have other uses.

Input: Directory containing a Dockerfile to create a version for.

Output: Image name (docker repository), docker tags, semantic version and git sha for docker sources.

Coupling

This module is tightly coupled with git, it is considered a base library here, and is therefore used from unit tests.

To consider

Consider options to ignore files in .dockerignore when generating git hash.

Usecases include determining whether a docker image needs to be built in a monorepo using the git hash and consistent versioning of docker images.
