Get the most recent git tag of your repository using git-describe(1)

Install

$ npm install --save git-latest-tag

Usage

Use a callback

var getLatestTag = require('git-latest-tag');
var options = {
  all: 'ok',
  contains: true,
  candidates: 10,
  'commit-ish': 'HEAD'
};

getLatestTag(options, function(err, tag) {
  console.log(tag);
  //=> latestTag
});

Use as a readable stream

var getLatestTag = require('git-latest-tag');
var options = {
  all: 'ok',
  contains: true,
  candidates: 10,
  'commit-ish': 'HEAD'
};

getLatestTag(options)
  .pipe(...);

API

getLatestTag([options], callback)

Returns a readable stream.

Options

Type: object or boolean

Options will be dash-cased for you.

Please check the available options at http://git-scm.com/docs/git-describe.

NOTE: if a flag takes no value and the passed options.value is truthy, it will generate the flag only without any value. If it's falsy the flag will not be included.

If it's a true, it will suppress long format, only showing the closest tag in refs/tags namespace and will return an empty string if there is no tags but more than one commit (same as { tags: true, abbrev: 0 }).

callback(err, tag)
