NAME

Git::DescribeVersion::App - Run Git::DescribeVersion as one-line script

VERSION

version 1.015

SYNOPSIS

Print out the version from Git::DescribeVersion in one line:

perl -MGit::DescribeVersion::App -e run

Options can be passed as program arguments (@ARGV):

perl -MGit::DescribeVersion::App -e run --match-pattern "rev-*"

The @ARGV form allows arguments to be spelled with dashes instead of underscores.

Options can also be passed in a hash or hashref just like "new" in Git::DescribeVersion:

perl -MGit::DescribeVersion::App -e 'run(match_pattern => "rev-*")'

Or can be environment variables spelled like GIT_DV_OPTION:

export GIT_DV_MATCH_PATTERN="rev-*"
perl -MGit::DescribeVersion::App -e run

This (hopefully) makes it easy for you to write the alias, function, Makefile or script that does exactly what you want.

If not, feel free to send me suggestions (or patches) that you think would make it simpler or more powerful.

METHODS

run

Convenience method for writing one-liners.

Exported to main package.
