version.sh

#!/bin/bash

# this versioning algo:
#  - if on a tagged commit, use the tag
#    e.g. 6.2.18 (for the commit tagged 6.2.18)
#  - if last tag was a regular release, bump the minor version, make a it a 'dev' pre-release, and append # of commits since tag
#    e.g. 5.5.38-dev.5 (for 5 commits after 5.5.37)
#  - if last tag was a pre-release tag (e.g. alpha, beta, rc), append number of commits since the tag
#    e.g. 7.0.0-alpha.1.5 (for 5 commits after 7.0.0-alpha.1)
