I would like to share with you how I deal with automatic versioning in my Gitlab (private) projects. Proper versioning of your app is essential in the process of building, testing and releasing to production. While you can manually track major version increments (like 1.2.1 to 2.0.0), it’s very tedious to manage the build numbers. It can lead to dubious scenarios where you don’t really know what feature belongs to which version and so forth.
In my blog post, I'm describing step by step how to implement auto version increment in your Gitlab repository. As always, any feedback is more than welcome!
All the best, Andrei-Flavius
