To follow up on my suggestion to use a git commit as a version, the following command in fish automatically produces a version number: date --date (git log -1 --pretty=format:%aD) -u +%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M.%S
In bash, it would be: date --date "$(git log -1 --pretty=format:%aD)" -u +%Y.%m.%d.%H.%M.%S -- http://www.fastmail.com - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again
