Re: [jgit-dev] Get the latest tag

["Randall S. Becker" <rsbecker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would the DescribeCommand help? This is typically used in git to find the most relevant annotated tag for building a release version string. It depends what you want to do with the tag, I suppose. I typically script:

 

git describe --long --first-parent --dirty=.dirty

 

when deploying.

Hi,

 

is it possible with jgit to get the latest tag? I couldn’t find something.

Git.wrap(db). tagList() returns an unsorted list.

 

Thanks in advance.
