Open Source Groovy Version Control Software

A Gradle plugin for automating semantic versioning in SCM-centric workflows: it computes version from Git tags, manages SNAPSHOT suffixes, performs tagging, and handles version bumps—streamlining release processes.

This Gradle plugin derives your project’s version directly from the state of the Git repository, turning tags and commits into consistent semantic versions. It reads the most recent tag, the number of commits since that tag, and whether the working tree is dirty, then composes a deterministic version string. Teams can enforce patterns (for example, treating non-tagged builds as snapshots) and keep CI builds reproducible without hardcoding versions in build.gradle. The plugin integrates with Gradle’s project.version, so the computed version flows automatically into publishing, packaging, and artifact naming. It works well in branching workflows by incorporating branch or distance information, making debug artifacts easy to trace back to source. By centralizing version logic around Git history, it eliminates manual bumps and reduces mistakes when cutting releases across multiple modules.

Gradle‑Git bundles several plugins, most notably org.ajoberstar.grgit—for Gradle projects. It provides a Groovy/JGit wrapper (Grgit) to manage Git operations, plus support modules for GitHub Pages publishing and version-based release workflows.

This Gradle plugin provides a Maven-like release workflow (gradle release). It automates version bumping, snapshot removal, build, tagging, branch switching, and next-version prompt—compatible with Git, SVN, Bazaar, and Mercurial.

Grgit is a Groovy‑friendly wrapper around Eclipse JGit that simplifies Git operations within Groovy scripts or Gradle builds. It provides a cleaner, fluent API for common Git tasks (clone, commit, tag, branch), and ships as a Gradle plugin for easy project integration.
