Question about manually bumping commit.

[GurdipS5]

Hi,
I am using NBGV in an NPM project.

I am a bit confused, as I thought NBGV could automatically increase the minor version per build? I think this is how the Nuget package for .NET Core works.

So am I using this correctly to amend the version no manually before each commit?

Thanks!

NB.GV (and the nbgv CLI tool) calculates the version based on git history. It does not increment the version for every single build. If you add a commit, the computed version is incremented automatically. No need to touch version.json in every commit for this to happen.

That makes sense. However, I have my commit but there's no change in the version.json file? Maybe I am missing.

[AArnott]

Committing doesn't change the version.json file. But nbgv or the NB.GV nuget package will calculate a higher version for each successive commit anyway.

[GurdipS5]

Yeah that makes sense.I guess that leaves my last question which is to get the higher version number, is there a command? I as looking at get-version etc.

You get a higher version number with every commit. And if you want a number in the version to increase that is actually specified in the version.json file, you need to update the version.json file and commit the change.
