GitVersion
A rails engine that will add a /version
route to your app to show the current git commit hash
Why
Almost every web application that I've been a part of has had the need for a version url which doesn't need to be as semantic as something like a gem.
I also wanted to play around with rails engines.
Prerequisites
- Rails > 3.1.0
- Using git for deployment
Installation
Add the gem to your Gemfile
:
gem 'git-version'
Usage
visit the version resource of your app
http://localhost:3000/version
