How to get the current version?

[o4rz3l]

Hi!

Is there an reliable way, to get the actual / lastest version? I want to use it in a feature-branch and append the branch name, so it has the form "v1.2.3-feature-xyz".
I found out, that the context has some previous version fields. Could this be an option?

git-cliff --current --context --use-branch-tags | jq -r '.[0].version'

Thanks for help!

Yup, you can simply retrieve the version from the context or from the {{ version }} template variable. See https://git-cliff.org/docs/templating/context
