git-box
=======

[](#git-box)

A GIT extension which uses the [petervanderdoes/gitflow-avh](https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow-avh) extension to create branches following the box's versioning:

`MAJOR.RELEASE.HOTFIX`

git-box will only bump version if there is no active release/hotfix (local or remote) and the last tag was using our versioning. Assuming everything else was set up as expected, you end it up with a branch that has been synced to remote.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

After [installing gitflow-avh](https://github.com/petervanderdoes/gitflow-avh/wiki/Installation), git-box can be installed with composer:
`$ composer global require rvanginneken/gitbox`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Assuming our latest tag was `7.3.1`, the following changes would apply:

- Using `$ git box major` would bump the version to `8.0.0`.
- Using `$ git box release` would bump the version to `7.4.0`.
- Using `$ git box hotfix` would bump the version to `7.3.2`.
