Getting Started

Installation and Configuration

You can install Nerdbank.GitVersioning into your projects via NuGet or NPM.

• Use the nbgv .NET Core CLI tool (recommended)
• NuGet installation instructions

You must also create a version.json file in your repo. See migration notes if your repo already has a version.txt or version.json file from using another system.

Also some special cloud build considerations (e.g. Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions, etc.).
