Deriving Versions from Git: Comparing MinVer, Nerdbank.GitVersioning and GitVersion
There are three ways to derive versions from Git: MinVer looks only at tags, Nerdbank.GitVersioning combines version.json with git height, and GitVersion calculates by branch type. We compare all three on Bookstore.Contracts with the same scenario and real output, and show the tag prefix, AssemblyVersion defaults, GitVersion 6's config changes and the shallow clone trap that requires fetch-depth: 0 in CI.
