[](#sebastianversion)

**sebastian/version** is a library that helps with managing the version number of Git-hosted PHP projects.

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

[](#installation)

You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require sebastian/version

```

If you only need this library during development, for instance to run your project's test suite, then you should add it as a development-time dependency:

```
composer require --dev sebastian/version

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The constructor of the `SebastianBergmann\Version` class expects two parameters:

- `$release` is the version number of the latest release (`X.Y.Z`, for instance) or the name of the release series (`X.Y`) when no release has been made from that branch / for that release series yet.
- `$path` is the path to the directory (or a subdirectory thereof) where the sourcecode of the project can be found. Simply passing `__DIR__` here usually suffices.

Apart from the constructor, the `SebastianBergmann\Version` class has a single public method: `asString()`.

Here is a contrived example that shows the basic usage:
