Show git version numbers - Linux

One component required to use this process.

1. The revtag.sh shell script

Usage:

Copy the revtag.sh into the git reposity, immediately above the bin folder. NOTE! is you perform a git clean this revtag.sh will be removed from the folder structure therefore you will have to copy it back in, I suggest you have a copy of it handy somewhere.

To run the script use the following command bash revtag.sh

The Shell Script:  revtag.sh

echo `git show-ref --tags | tail -1 | sed -e 's,^\(.......\).*/,\1 - r,'` `git log -n 1 --pretty='format:%ci'` > bin/.version
