The scripts can also be found in the last post of this thread.
The scripts work for Linux only.
If anyone could port these scripts to Windows and/or OSX and post them in this thread it would be greatly appreciated.
/EDIT
I want to auto include a version number in my project that tells me exactly which version is running on a device.
Preferably a string value like something like the output from:
Code: Select all
git --no-pager describe --tags --always --dirty > version.txt
Above is very basic example and a somewhat nicer way would be to generate a file that looks like:
Code: Select all
const char * sketchVersion "3.1.001-11-g2f50fc1-dirty";
I could run a script like the above manually every time I make a commit, but that is too error prone and not the lazy easy way.
Can I edit the build process from the Arduino IDE so that it produces this data every time I compile a project?
Or is it possible to let git somehow produce this data every time I make a commit?
I found this thread on this forum, and others elsewhere on the net, but these all were targeted at makefiles and/or ESP-IDF.
I was also thinking/dreaming along the lines of a bash script file that executes the above script and then starts the Arduino IDE and auto compiles/uploads my sketch.
I made this very simple poc. Put it in the sketch folder and execute it.
Code: Select all
git --no-pager describe --tags --always --dirty > versiontest.txt
~/arduino-1.8.5/arduino --upload test.ino
Or am I re-inventing the wheel and have others done this already?
